Lehigh Valley Supporting Families Collaborative
Communication and Meetings Structure
LVSF Collaborative holds meetings bi-monthly, typically on a Monday at 1pm. We also have a Steering Committee which meets the opposite months (meeting dates and times vary based on committee members schedules). Please reach out to Meranda Hess @ MerandaHess@lehighcounty.org or Emily Gonzalez @ EGonzalez@northamptoncounty.org if you would like more information.
Goals, next steps or actions plans
Our collaborative has been focused on a training series for families/self-advocates. We have used feedback gathered from families/self-advocates, and the professionals who work closely with them, to identify what families/self-advocates want to know more about. Information about upcoming presentations can be found on our Facebook page or at Intellectual Disabilities Home (lehighcounty.org).
