What Parents Say About CHSC

Diane Shah, Westport, CT

“Our daughter is learning to live independently but within the safety of the Chapel Haven campus. As her family, we are grateful for the peace of mind we have because she is at Chapel Haven and we look forward to her continued growth and happiness in the years to come.”

John Workman, parent

“Our family searched in several states to find a place for our son, without success. Before we knew it, he was an older adult still living with us at home. And he wasn’t making much progress. Then we found Chapel Haven’s REACH program — and he loved it. Our family is grateful to the entire CHSC staff for their depth of expertise, genuine humanity, and professionalism.”

Diane Boekman, parent

“I like the New Haven location because it is a small city with all that has to offer. Public transportation, colleges / universities, a library, houses of worship, cultural events, museums, shopping. All right there!”

Ellen Keane, ASAT parent

“Chapel Haven taught my son how to live his own independent and productive life, developing the confidence and providing the experience he lacked. He needed the opportunities, curriculum and community to develop his personal skills. He now has his own apartment in New Haven and has maturity that would have seemed impossible before he enrolled.”
