Our Summer Wellness Group is a 6-week group designed to support individuals with Down syndrome in making healthy choices while having fun. Monday was the last day of our 2024 group. 

This week's group was facilitated by the Chicago Botanic Garden. The participants planted succulents. They painted the flowerpots, potted the succulents, and added decorative rocks. Check out the photos at the bottom of the page!
