Home/Family Support
Family support
You do not have to navigate it alone
We help families find and access the school-based, behavioral health and community resources their children need, and we stand beside you along the way.
Family resource navigation and advocacy
Guidance, referrals and a steady hand
When a child is struggling emotionally or behaviorally, families often face confusing systems: school evaluations, special education plans, insurance, waiting lists and many different providers.
Our staff help families identify and access school-based services (such as IEPs and 504 plans), behavioral health resources and community supports. We provide guidance, referrals and advocacy assistance so you can navigate these systems with confidence and support your child effectively.
How we help
Support for every part of the journey
School-based services
Understanding and requesting evaluations, IEPs and 504 plans, and preparing for school meetings.
Behavioral health resources
Referrals to behavioral health providers, including intensive behavioral health services (IBHS) and school-based support teams.
Community supports
Connections to community programs and services that help the whole family.
Guidance and advocacy
Help asking the right questions and making sure your child’s needs are heard.
Skills for the whole family
Social-emotional learning workshops for youth and adults on stress, communication and goal-setting.
Follow-up
We check in after referrals to help keep things moving.
