The Read for Rose Special Education Program at the Amos Youth Centre is helping parents step out of silence through its mental health initiative. By supporting caregivers as well as children, the program creates space for healing, connection, and renewed strength. 

As the Read for Rose Special Education Program marks its 6th anniversary, it celebrates not just its longevity but the transformative impact it has had on its 37 students. Two standout initiatives—the Community Gardening Project and the Doormat Knitting Project—have become pillars of empowerment, equipping students with life skills, fostering independence, and creating opportunities for sustainable livelihoods.
