Family Support: Strengthening the Foundation of Care
At Centered Family Support Services, we recognize that families are the most important support system for many individuals with developmental disabilities. Our Family Support services are designed to strengthen this foundation, providing resources, training, and emotional support to help families thrive while caring for their loved ones.
Comprehensive Family Support Services
Our family support approach is built on the understanding that when families are well-supported, both caregivers and individuals with disabilities experience better outcomes. We offer a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each family:
- Caregiver Training: Specialized training programs that prepare family members to provide more effective support while maintaining their own well-being.
- Respite Support: Assistance in identifying and accessing respite care options to prevent caregiver burnout and ensure sustainable care.
- Family Counseling: Professional guidance to help families navigate the emotional aspects of caregiving and maintain healthy family dynamics.
- Sibling Support: Resources and programs specifically designed for siblings of individuals with disabilities.
- Parent-to-Parent Connections: Opportunities to connect with other families who share similar experiences.

Family Support Success Stories
The impact of our family support services is best illustrated through the experiences of families we've worked with:
After participating in CFSS's caregiver training program, I finally feel equipped to handle the daily challenges of caring for my son. The strategies they taught us have transformed our home environment from one of constant stress to one of confidence and joy.
The sibling support group has been invaluable for my teenage daughter. For years, she felt isolated in her experience as a sister to someone with special needs. Now she has a community of peers who understand exactly what she's going through.
