Family Supports

Everyone needs support from time to time and families caring for an individual with disabilities sometimes need a little extra support. The Family Support program at The Arc gives families the opportunity to join workshops, attend training sessions, participate in support groups, as well as assisting individuals with disabilities to find their own voices and learn how to be their own advocates.
