Pathways for Parents
The Pathways for Parents Program at the Federation for Children with Special Needs provides support to many community organizations, including Family Resource Centers (FRCs), Community Connections Coalitions, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren and the Family Advisory Committee to DCF. We train and assist both program staff and families who receive services from them. Our mission is to support effective parent and guardian participation in their child’s education, enable access to emotional and behavioral support services, and strengthen supportive parenting skills.
