Beginning on December 4, 2008, Families Helping Families of Southeast
Louisiana will be at the Community Center of St Bernard, 1107 LeBeau St,
Arabi, every Thursday from 10AM - noon.



The mission of Families Helping Families of Southeast Louisiana is to enable
and empower families of individuals with disabilities through an effective
coordinated network of resources, support, and services. FHF of SELA is
dedicated to helping families stay together, living independently and
striving to reach their full potential. Moreover, FHF of SELA seeks to
ensure that all individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to attend
school, live, work and recreate in their community with typical peers.



At the Community Center, Danielle Marshall, MHSD Family Facilitator, will
provide individuals with disabilities and their families with information
and referral, education and training, and peer-to-peer support. Resources
available through FHF of SELA include services from the Metropolitan Human
Services District <http://www.mhsdla.org/> , the State Department of
Education <http://www.doe.state.la.us/lde/index.html> , Louisiana Parent
Training and Information Center, formerly known as Project PROMPT

Improvement Grant <http://www.doe.state.la.us/lde/eia/1500.html> and other
