Text Box: Family Support 360 Project Vision: CDHD LogoText Box: Families should receive, from their communities, adequate and flexible resources and supports necessary to meet their family member’s needs.   Family Support recognizes that children and adults, regardless of the severity or type of disability:   1. Need families and enduring relationships in a nurturing home environment, and 2. Should be afforded the opportunity to live in typical homes and communities where they can fully participate as citizens with choices about how they reach their goals.

Idaho Family Support ProjectText Box: The Idaho Family Support 360 Project is dedicated to strengthening the current family support system in the State of Idaho.  The 20+ member Policy Council for the Project consists of community partners, agencies, individuals with a disability, family members who have a child with a disability, and advocacy groups.   For more information about our Project, the Policy Council or how to become involved with family support resources in Idaho contact:   jills@uidaho.edu 208-659-1643 800-393-7290 www.connectingfamilies.net
