The Family Support Center provides individualized supports based on each family’s strengths, needs, abilities and preferences to approximately 40 families who have been determined eligible for services by the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS). A number of program offerings are also available to the community at large, including education and training, parent networking opportunities and family activities. The program strives to “do what it takes” to support families, including providing support to build capacities, to make family connections and to provide information and training.
