Families Helping Families is a resource center staffed with trained, knowledgeable parents of children with disabilities since 1991. We answer questions and provide assistance for any disability, any age. We teach you to advocate for your child and over time your child will learn to self-advocate. We help you navigate support systems and overcome challenges in these systems. You are not alone: 1 in 8 children in Louisiana have a disability. Our Louisiana Parent Training and Information Center helps families statewide. I invite you to learn more about what Families Helping Families does in Louisiana. Please like them on Facebook at facebook.com/fhfjefferson and visit the website at www.fhfjefferson.org. You can also sign up for their monthly e-newsletter, Exceptional Times on the website. If you know someone in Louisiana that has a disability and needs support, please refer them to Families Helping Families.
