The Groden Network

Sometimes, enriching someone’s life looks like something as simple as a trip to the grocery store. 🛒

For Pam, it meant picking up some clam chowder to make and enjoy. Sara was there to help make that happen, bringing Pam to the store and supporting her in picking up something she was looking forward to.

These everyday moments may seem small, but they are an important part of the meaningful, person-centered support our staff provide every day.

From helping with a favorite meal to getting out into the community, our staff are there to support our clients in doing the things they enjoy, building independence, and making the most of everyday life. ❤️

It’s the small things that can make a big difference.

🎾 Serving up meaningful opportunities!

We’re proud to partner with Rally Point Tennis, where our adult clients have the opportunity to both work and play at the facility.

As part of their work, our clients help with ball collection and other important tasks around the facility. They also get to enjoy time on the courts, making this partnership a great opportunity to build workplace skills, stay active, have fun, and be part of the community.

We’re grateful to Rally Point for creating such a welcoming environment and providing our clients with opportunities to learn, contribute, and enjoy the sport! 💙

Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the opportunity to celebrate and spotlight some of the incredible Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) across The Groden Network. 💙

But the impact of our DSPs goes far beyond a week of recognition. Every day, they help the people we serve build skills, pursue their interests, connect with their communities, and live more independently. They provide encouragement, compassion, support, and a familiar presence that can make all the difference.

Their hard work and dedication deserve to be recognized all year round.

To all of our DSPs: thank you for everything you do, every single day. We appreciate you! 💙

The tournament brought our community together. Your support helps carry that momentum forward.

A gift to the John Trimble Fund helps provide the programs, technology and experiences that create meaningful opportunities for people with autism and other developmental disabilities.

There’s still plenty of time to get outside! ☀️🍂

Before the temperatures drop, our clients across the network have been making the most of the season with walks, games, adventures, and plenty of time spent enjoying the great outdoors. From exploring new places to simply enjoying time together, these moments are all about connection, activity, and having fun.

Here’s to making the most of every last bit of sunshine! 💙💚❤️

Congratulations to Cynthia Maduagwuna, Cove’s DSP of the Year, and Liz Diamond, CHTS’s DSP of the Year! 💙

Today, Cynthia and Liz were honored at CPNRI’s DSP of the Year ceremony at the WaterFire Arts Center, alongside DSPs from providers across Rhode Island.

The ceremony was filled with incredible stories and served as a powerful tribute to the important, life-changing work DSPs do every day for people with developmental disabilities and the communities they call home.

We are so proud to have Cynthia and Liz represent The Groden Network and show our community the very best of what we have to offer. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people they support.

Congratulations to all of today’s award recipients across Rhode Island, and thank you to Community Provider Network of Rhode Island for hosting such an important celebration of the people who make a difference every day! 💙

Did you see us at the State Street Fair this weekend? 🎨

Last Saturday, artists from across The Groden Network came together in Bristol to showcase and sell their work, sharing their creativity with the community through paintings, photography, and more.

We’re so proud of the talented artists who represented Groden and grateful to everyone who stopped by, supported their work, and celebrated their creativity with us! ❤️

Stay tuned for more photos from this fantastic day of celebrating our local arts community!

The golf tournament may be over, but the impact of the John Trimble Fund continues.

For decades, the Trimble Fund has helped support programs, technology, resources and meaningful experiences for people with autism and other developmental disabilities across the Groden Network.

You don't have to have played a round of golf to be part of that impact. A gift to the Trimble Fund can help create opportunities that make a difference throughout the year.
