"According to the National Respite Coalition, respite has a range of benefits for families: It improves family functioning, enhances satisfaction with life, improves the capacity to cope with stress, and provides more positive attitudes toward their family member with a disability. Data show that respite may also reduce the likelihood of divorce and help sustain marriages."
