Trey has loved Next Stop from day one, and being able to stay in touch with his Next Stop family during the COVID-19 pandemic has made all the difference for him. The Next Stop immediately began Zoom groups for their members and reminded them that they are not "stuck" at home but "safe" at home. Hearing that message and being with his friends online, has helped him to better understand the situation and deal with his emotions. Listening to his conversations and helping him with his Next Stop projects and activities has helped us understand his perspective and has created a new kind of conversation in our house. We are forever grateful to The Next Stop team!

Check out all of the fun at The Next Stop!

which golf course is it going to be at so my dad Larry can take me?

Guessing what the small piece of the picture is going to become as it gets larger is one of our big group Zoom activities. Fun times 🤗

Looking good Ian!

We could call it Zingo! 😂

That was fun yesterday

I just didn't have any bingo chips or anything to play bingo so that's why I wanted to watch

The members are learning how to manage some zoom features and we couldn’t be prouder! Several were able to draw on the whiteboard for the first time while playing Pictionary. 😍 (yes, this is rain!)
