Tools and Resources

Thank you for joining us for the Value of Family-to-Family Connections Webcast. Below is a list of actionable tips, links and resources relevant to the topics discussed. We hope you find this information useful.

3 TIPS TO TAKE ACTION AFTER THE WEBCAST

  1. Think about the reason you want to make family-to-family connections. Pinpoint what matters most: peer support and friendship, advocacy, education resources, shared culture, or disability-specific guidance. Knowing what you are looking for will help you find the best fit.

  2. Review the Family Networks directory on the Partners for Planning website to locate Family Networks in your area. 

  3. Connect with the Family Networks that resonate with you — do a deep dive into their websites or social media pages. Finding the right fit might take some time, so don’t hesitate to explore a few before finding one you’re comfortable with. It will be worth it when you discover a community where you belong!
