Parents, siblings, and family members of children and adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities are cordially invited to our special in-person meeting. Refreshments will be served.

Regional Family Support Planning Council #5 (Middlesex, Mercer, Hunterdon) advocates for families and individuals with developmental disabilities at the local and state level on issues that directly impact their lives.

The purpose of this special meeting is to facilitate our members to become reacquainted after the long reliance on virtual meetings and to properly welcome the family members who have attended only virtual meetings. We will also welcome the family members who will join us for the first time on Saturday morning.

Agenda:

  1. Welcome
  2. Introduction
  3. Explain the mission and activities of RFSPC #5
  4. Roundtable to identify and discuss the challenges faced by families of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with a focus on how RFSPC #5 can help families deal with these challenges and access the services they require.
  5. Describe advocacy opportunities and how we can work with families throughout the state to obtain positive system change and service capacity increases
  6. Discuss the road forward for RFSPC #5

I hope to see you all at this important meeting.
