Welcome

We are a support network for individuals, families and their support network teams.

It is our hope that our efforts will assist, inspire and facilitate conversation — leading to concrete action — positive change for individuals, their families, support network teams and others who may be interested in creative thinking — resulting in meaningful and exciting changes for individuals with developmental disabilities.

The purpose and goals of Family Voice of Lanark County are to:

  • Facilitate opening lines of communication with like-minded individuals on a regular basis
  • Provide current information on issues of importance and interest
  • Share success stories and experiences
  • Be an accessible forum to express ideas and concerns
  • Encourage “Net-working” with other family groups and organizations
  • Increase capacity to reach out and provide information
  • Empower and engage individuals, families and personal support networks teams
  • Promote better outcomes, accountability, self-determination, access, choice and citizenship

“If everyone moves forward together, then success takes care of itself.”
– Henry Ford
