How was the Student Respite Toolkit Developed?

A national survey was also conducted to help identify existing student respite programs and one-on-one interviews were conducted with program leads to help better understand how programs were developed, maintained, and evaluated. The Student Respite Toolkit was developed by Respite Care Association of Wisconsin in partnership with the Whitmore Research Team at Marquette University.
