Our mission is to support, educate, and advocate for vulnerable and underrepresented families and the service providers who serve them. We want our families and advocates to have knowledge, resources, information, and support to make informed choices that enhance your loved ones quality of life and well-being.

We promote partnerships with families, professionals, and the community at large, because through partnership, we create a community where out loved ones can flourish and thrive.

Our group is composed of families, service providers, and advocates from all 21 Regional Centers in California.
