Family Resources

H.A.L.O.’s Family Circle is a support and mentoring resource for Massachusetts families whose children have severe neurological impairment. Services include:

• Family Circle newsletter: A compilation of helpful information about resources, workshops and events for our families. Distributed every other month in print and email formats. Subscribe here.



• Parent to Parent Directory: A network of families who share similar challenges. Families who participate in the parent directory receive a list of other voluntary participants to contact for information and support.



• Disability Resource Network (DRN): A statewide telephone help line for Massachusetts individuals with disabilities and their families. Volunteers and professionals research answers to your questions on a wide variety of disability issues. Contact DRN at (781) 647-5327 or familycircle@halofoundation.org.



• Planned Respite Programming: Family Circle connects families with in-home respite providers.



• Social Recreational Programming: Family Circle collaborates with other organizations to create recreational programs in the community for children and young adults with neurological disorders.

Family Circle services are non-denominational and are offered in partnership with Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JF&CS) of Boston.
