We’re not just here to serve families, we’re also here for the individuals that don’t have families. Like Gary X, a young man with a dual diagnosis (mentally ill and developmentally disabled). His family didn’t know what to do with him and he ended up on the streets. After police picked him up, he was placed in our respite home.
He stayed several months, went back to school, transitioned into a group home and is now doing well. Gary even comes back to visit us! We’re proud, at times, to be working miracles in the lives of individuals who would otherwise have no hope. |

We strive to stand apart from the typical agency:
|
|
We recognize that parents and family are the experts. |
|
|
|
We believe that individuals do best in families and families do best in the community. |
|
|
|
Our philosophy drives the services and support we offer and how we deliver them. |
|
|
 |
We invite you to meet our coordinators who are trained to make your challenges easier for you. |
