The primary goal of family support is to provide a wide array of options to families of people with disabilities that enable them to stay together and to be welcomed, contributing members in their home communities. The Family Support Service Department promotes the development and growth of relationships with natural support networks within the community. Families are experts regarding someone's strengths and needs and are in the best position to know what will help them provide for a family member.
