Family Voices Indiana

"I have been very impressed with the depth of knowledge our local FV representative has. She has been a great advocate for my family."

--a parent in Indiana



Having a child with special health care needs and/or disabilities often causes families to change directions, to travel different roads, to learn new skills and to redefine priorities.  The roads they travel and the people they meet as a result of having a child with disabilities, often help families realize what is really important in life and helps keep things in perspective. The questions they need answered require them to continually seek resources and support.

As the Family to Family Health Information Center for the state, Family Voices Indiana is here to help. Experienced family leaders listen and answer families’ questions about a new diagnosis, find an accommodating service provider, or assist in negotiations with insurance companies. Because the Family Voices network is state-based, its leaders keep abreast of policy and regulatory developments that might impact a state’s children and youth with special health care needs and their families. Recognized as expert stakeholders by government and private leaders, we are key players in improving state policies and programs.

While no two roads traveled are the same, it is our hope that our shared experiences can make another parent's journey a little easier by opening some doors and giving them more time and opportunities to celebrate the blessings and successes along the way.

Family Voices Indiana will continue to support families until the day when all members of all families have health care services that are family-centered, community-based, comprehensive, coordinated and culturally competent. And until all families are included as decision makers at all levels of health care, and partnerships between families and professionals are considered the norm.
