About Us

Welcome to the online home of FUSE, Families United for Support and Encouragement. At FUSE we provide information, resources and support to  families and individuals with disabilities or mental health needs. When families first learn that their child has a disability or a mental health care need, they often don’t know where to turn. As those children grow into adulthood, services and supports change, and families need to learn how to navigate new systems and services. We act as a guide with individuals and families to information and resources that help them meet their individualized needs and live a fulfilling life in their community. We host training sessions, Q&A meetings, and seasonal social events, and we host some group skill building programs throughout the year, so families have a variety of ways to get involved. Families can engage with us by phone, email social media or by attending any of our events. Our email newsletter helps individual and families stay on top of current disability news and information.
