WE COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT!

Families who have children with disabilities are among the most vulnerable people in our community and are particularly hard hit by current reductions in community services and supports. Not surprisingly, children with disabilities are nearly twice as likely as their non-disabled peers to be physically abused; these families experience very high levels of stress.  The Family Support and Service Coordination program currently has 5 full-time staff working with more than 1,500 families, providing them with the emotional and practical support they need. Amazingly, with such a small staff working with such a large number of families, parents repeatedly tell us that our assistance helps them to be less stressed, more self-reliant and that their child is more likely to be successful in the future. 

Your generous gift will help us to continue empowering the families we support to meet challenges head-on, with a skilled and highly committed advocate at their side. Ultimately, their lives become more manageable and new opportunities emerge. Direction Service has been helping families who have children with disabilities live the fullest lives possible since 1976.
