Yesterday, Wildwood took on the CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge! It was a great day to showcase Wildwood’s team spirit. While a few staff members ran the course, most enjoyed walking, taking in the views of Central Park, and sharing some laughs with one another along the way.

Our last Spring Gala video highlights the lifelong care and support that Wildwood Programs provides to the individuals and families we serve.

Wildwood’s residential program allow individuals to feel comfortable, supported, and truly at home while still remaining active members of their community. From daily routines to meaningful experiences and connections, our goal is to help every person live a life filled with independence and joy.

For families, it also brings peace of mind in knowing that their loved one is safe, happy and surrounded by people who genuinely support them every step of the way.

We were honored to share Aliyya’s story through a powerful video featured during our Spring Gala's Bid-a-cause.

Through Day Hab, Aliyya has been given the opportunity to grow, connect, and thrive in ways that have truly changed her life for the better. From strengthening her communication skills to discovering and exploring more of the things she loves each and every day, her journey is a beautiful reminder of the impact compassionate support and meaningful opportunities can have.

We are so proud to celebrate Aliyya and all that she continues to accomplish!
