Welcome to the Family Liaison page
This position was created because we recognize the importance of building, and maintaining strong relationships with our participants, parents and advocates. We also realize that navigating the Self-Direction process isn’t always easy. As a parent of a Self-Direction participant I understand the process can be daunting, to say the least. My role is to guide you through the process, and to find ways to support you in Self-Direction.
One way is through ISS hosted Circle of Support Council meetings. If you can’t attend, you may stay informed by reading the meeting minutes which will be posted here.
We welcome your input, your ideas, what’s working, what’s not and most of all we love to hear about your successes!
Feel free to reach out at any time.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Liz
