June 11 Orientation Program

Curious about the Carroll Center’s programs? Nervous about going there? Need more information in order to make good decisions? Do you wonder what kind of people work there?

The Carroll Center’s monthly Orientation Program serves to provide consumers, families, professionals and students an opportunity to witness the process of rehabilitation, specifically as it relates to our different programs. The staff loves this chance to help participants become informed, relaxed and motivated! And the lunch is superb!

This orientation program starts promptly at 10:00 am and concludes at 2:00 PM. Please join us for lunch, free of charge.

If you have questions, call Rabih Dow, Rehabilitation Director at (800) 852-3131 or send an e-mail to Dina Rosenbaum, dina.rosenbaum@carroll.org
