People Inc.’s Family Support and Advisory Council meets monthly and offers a chance for family members of the individuals we serve to meet and support one another, obtain insight on program development, discuss challenges and learn more about our programs and the resources that are available, in a non-threatening, friendly environment.

At a meeting, held on March 9, Parent Network of WNY Executive Director Susan Barlow guest spoke about the support and education her nonprofit agency offers families of individuals with special needs (birth through adulthood) and for professionals including workshops and referral services.

If you are a family member of an individual served by People Inc., or if you know of a family member who would benefit from attending the council meetings, the next meeting will be held Monday, April 13, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at our administrative headquarters, 1219 North Forest Road, Williamsville. Upcoming 2015 meeting dates, same time and location, are: June 15, July 13, September 14, November 9 and December 14.
