Advocacy    

     
If you are frustrated over the lack of programs and funding to support your family member and you have not taken action to educate your legislators  you have no one to blame but yourself. Please contact the Family Support Network. We will give you the information you need to feel confident. We can tell you who your legislator is. We can give you facts. We can give you figures. Please help. We need you.
