Region Two Family
Resource Center
Lynn McCollough has joined our team and we are thrilled to
welcome her! She has helped many families get the support they need just in
her first few months!
Some of the different types of support include a mattress
needed after a family member acquired a traumatic brain injury, eye glasses,
help to attend a conference, gas
vouchers and respite care just to name a few. In addition, the team has
helped community providers with researching support needs and funding
resources.
Lynn continues to recruit interested family members for the
Family Action Board (FAB). The goal of this group is to help our Region 2
Family Resource Center develop resource priorities, to provide a way that
parents can get support from other parents, and to help policy makers
understand what families experience in Region 2. If you are interested in
joining FAB, call Lynn at
(208)885-3743 or (800) 393-7290. |
Region Seven Family
Resource Center
Shelly Nelson is our newest team member and we are lucky to
have her! She has been a part of several community development projects in
and around Idaho Falls including the Children with Disabilities Foundation
and the Equal Access Playground project.
The Family Resource Center will be housed with the Health and
Welfare Programs at the State Building on Shoup Avenue in Idaho Falls.
Shelly will be visiting many communities around the region to let families
know about our project and how they can access information, and resource
details as well as how they can apply for support dollars.
The Region 7 Family Resource Center is staffed part-time, and
Shelly will be out in the community quite a bit. Don’t hesitate to leave her
a message! For more information,
contact Shelly at (208)
528-5905 or contact our team at (800)393-7290.
