Membership on the Family Support Council gives families an opportunity to work with other people who have a family member with a disability, and to network with other community agencies and organizations. Members share their experiences and their approaches, their ideas and their dreams. Membership benefits Community Bridges, and therefore families and individuals with disabilities. The Council works to improve the agency's planning process and helps Community Bridges implement it's mission. Becoming a member benefits you through opportunities to utilize your current skills and learn new ones. In addition to learning more about Community Bridges and the State Department of Developmental Services, you will discover new ways to have a positive impact on your loved one's life. The Council meets on the fourth Wednesday of every month from 6:00-8:00 PM at 525 Clinton Street in Bow.
