You do NOT have to cross that bridge alone!
Family Bridges provides information, resource and referral, education, and support to families whose children or youth have social, emotional or behavioral challenges, developmental disabilities and/or special health care needs. We assist in preparation for IEP and 504 educational planning meetings. Family Bridges is available to give families assistance and support in beginning and sustaining their WRAP around meetings as well as goal setting. Youth Standing Tall educates youth on self direction and self advocacy, including transition planning. We have staff and volunteers who are available to provide support in other areas and meetings as requested and appropriate.
We are available to provide limited supports and services to educators, system of care partners, faith entities and communities.
Youth, parents and caregivers can make appointments to come to the Springfield office and utilize the Internet and free long distance to conduct research about available services and/or their child's diagnosis.
The Children's Mental Health Conference is held in May of each year at the Resort at Port Arrowhead in Lake Ozark, Missouri. |
