Supporting NJ Black Families
Breaking Barriers to Disability Services
We understand that Black families face unique challenges when seeking help for their loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our goal is to remove barriers, provide easy-to-find resources, and advocate for fair services in the community. We are committed to helping New Jersey families at every step, ensuring that you have the support and tools you need to succeed. Let's work together to create a more inclusive future for everyone.
