The Philadelphia Parent Support Groups are grassroots groups organized by families for families of persons receiving or seeking Intellectual disAbility Services through the City of Philadelphia. Members share and network with one another to become better informed about resources in their community and around the state. There are Parent Support Groups located throughout the City of Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Parent Support Groups Planning Committee Representatives from each of the groups meets 10 months out of the year to discuss and present systems concerns on behalf of the families in their group and to seek resolutions of their issues. They also meet with city, state and government officials to bring their concerns to their attention. The outcome is to educate and support families to advocate on behalf of their sons and daughters so they can receive the services they need to live a full meaningful life in their communities.
