FRN’s Support Services provide individuals with disabilities and families of children with disabilities to get the support they need to lead a full and happy life.
FRN’s employment and transition programs support youth and adults with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities through mentorship, education, and employment in order to become integrated, productive members of their communities.
FRN’s public health department aims to address the social determinants of health that impact individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, and chronic conditions.
The Family Resource Network provides engaging educational opportunities for professionals, families, and individuals across New Jersey. Our programs are offered both virtually and in person and cover a wide range of topics, including epilepsy, autism, caregiving, transition planning, and IEP development.
Adult services can bring up a lot of questions for families, especially when DDD, Medicaid, NJCAT, support coordination, and guardianship start showing up in the same conversation.
Join us for a 30-minute LIVE Q&A on Monday, June 1 at 6:30pm with Allison Wawrin, Trainer at Caregivers of New Jersey.
This session is for New Jersey families who are preparing for adult services or trying to understand where to start.
We’ll talk through questions families often ask, including:
- When should we apply for DDD services?
- What is the NJCAT, and how does it affect services?
- What is the difference between waiver programs?
- How does support coordination work?
- Where do Medicaid, SSI, and guardianship fit into the process?
Bring the questions you have been trying to sort through.
