Circle of Strength Family is committed to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families throughout the year—not just during moments of celebration, but in everyday life.
Through ongoing initiatives, we expand access to critical resources by hosting Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) workshops and providing hands-on guidance to families navigating complex systems. These efforts help families better understand eligibility, access available benefits, and connect to the support they need with confidence.
Your support helps ensure that families are not navigating these systems alone, but instead have the knowledge, tools, and guidance to make informed decisions.
Support access to resources that empower families year-round.
Circle of Strength Family supports access to respite opportunities that allow caregivers of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) the time to rest, recharge, and sustain their ability to provide care.
Respite is not a luxury—it is essential to maintaining the well-being of caregivers and the stability of families.
Through this initiative, we help expand access to respite by connecting families to available resources, supporting caregiver-focused programs, and funding opportunities that provide meaningful relief.
Your support helps reduce stress, prevent burnout, and strengthen the overall support system surrounding individuals with IDD.
Help provide caregivers with the time and support they need to continue showing up every day.
