Community Outreach
Commitment to Equity
At Families United, we believe that building strong, inclusive communities starts with meaningful outreach and engagement. Our community outreach efforts are designed to connect families of children with developmental disabilities to the vital services and resources they need to thrive. We aim to bridge gaps in access, provide educational support, and foster a sense of belonging for all families in need.
What We Do
Our outreach programs focus on providing families with tools, information, and advocacy to help them navigate the complex systems of care and support. Through workshops, events, and personalized assistance, we strive to empower families to advocate for their children, especially when it comes to securing essential services like Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), developmental screenings, and early intervention.
