Family Connections Program
“Connects a family needing support to a family who has been there.”
Family Connections partners families 1:1 with an altruistic approach for cross-disabilities from birth thru life span. Matches are made for a parent seeking information and/or emotional support with a parent who has experienced the same or similar situation. These connections encourage families to make better informed choices and fosters family strengthening. The success of the Family Connections program is built upon altruism, compassion and a collaborative community commitment to ensure no family is left behind.
