Autism support group receives grant from area foundation
Prairie View’s Autism Support Group, led by Dr. Andrea Kinlen, LP, received a $1,000 grant from the McPherson County Community Foundation.
According to Sharon Long, program officer with MCCF, the grant is a one-time gift through an MCCF fund, created with the help of the Kansas Health Foundation. The funds are designated for programs that benefit children and teenagers in McPherson County.
“McPherson County Community Foundation sponsors a committee of high school students called the Youth Advisory Council,” Long said in a news release. “Each year, the YAC learn about philanthropy, community leadership and service, and the grant process.”
As part of the process, Long and several YAC members made a site visit to Prairie View’s McPherson office to hear from parents of children with autism spectrum disorders. Impressed with what they heard, the YAC members who visited the autism support group advocated on the group’s behalf to the rest of the YAC.
The purpose of the support group is to provide a chance for those caring for a child or adolescent with an autism spectrum disorder to exchange information and support one another regarding the joys and challenges of raising a child with ASD.
The group meets the fourth Tuesday of every month from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Prairie View’s McPherson office, located at 1102 Hospital Drive. The autism support group received a $440 grant from MCCF in July 2010.
Prairie View is a faith-based, private behavioral and mental health services provider, offering a range of behavioral and psychiatric services for children, adolescents, adults and older adults, as well as consultation services to businesses and organizations.
In addition to the main campus, including outpatient offices and a psychiatric hospital in Newton, Prairie View has outpatient locations in Hillsboro, Hutchinson, McPherson and Wichita.
