Support for Families

LIFEPlan connects members and families to education and advocacy opportunities through its Member and Family Advisory Council, webinar events, weekly e-news letters, the LIFEPlan website, and social media pages.

The Member & Family Advisory Council gives members, parents, self advocates, and caregivers an opportunity to be the voice of LIFEPlan sharing their experiences and perspective to guide program and systems development.

Six regional MFA Councils advise LIFEPlan on important topics related to Care Management, Education, Advocacy, Communications, and more. There are many ways to participate in the Councils whether it be Advising LIFEPlan leadership on topics of interest or concern for members, sitting on committees, or participating in your own areas of interest.
