Families FIRST Mission Statement: Since 2005, our group has evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of our families, ensuring that inclusion, respect, support, and access to therapy remain at the core of our mission. While the programs, events, and resources we offer may change, our unwavering commitment to uplifting and empowering families remains constant. Families FIRST is built on the foundation of unity, advocacy, and progress. We honor the self-advocates and parents who have paved the way for inclusive opportunities, and we take on the responsibility to continue that work. Respect is not just a value—it is an expectation for how our loved ones and self-advocates are treated. Support is a necessity that drives us to create a network of strength and understanding. Therapy must continuously evolve so that families have access to the best possible care and interventions. With 20 years of dedication to this beautiful community, we move forward with full hearts and a renewed sense of purpose, ensuring that Families FIRST remains a place where every family is uplifted, supported, and empowered.
