ABOUT PFV

As a team, we are a group of caring family members who share a lifelong dedication to assisting families with obtaining the proper services required for their child.

 

The Family Peer Support Specialists (FPSS) use their lived experience as a family member, combined with knowledge gained from completing the state-designated family peer support training, to provide emotional, instrumental, and informational support. Family Peer services increase access to earlier appropriate behavioral health and/or autism evaluation, treatment and other needed services and resources for children and youth by engaging and working with parents/primary caregivers and family members in a supportive and informed way. Family Peer support can help caregivers access systems more effectively, learn from the experiences of other families, feel less alone, and gain hope, ideas, and information. 

OUR PURPOSE

Redefining Family Services

At PFV, our purpose is centered around empowering primary caregivers and family members to cultivate essential skills that foster positive child and youth development, nurturing an environment where children can thrive within their community. By providing this support, we aim to enhance the caregiver's ability to enrich their child's life and facilitate their successful integration within society.

 

Through our professional efforts, we are dedicated to equipping families with the tools they need to create a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for the wellbeing and growth of children and youth.  "FAMILY VOICE, FAMILY CHOICE!"
