Families Helping Families Region 7

Families Helping Families Region 7 Families Helping Families Region 7 is a nonprofit resource center for individuals w/ disabilities. We would like to take this time to introduce ourselves.

Families Helping Families Region 7 is a network of families who, because of their experiences have become committed to reaching out to individuals with disabilities and their families. Our mission is to assist and strengthen individuals and families through a parent driven, coordinated network of services. We provide peer to peer support, and trainings on disabilities topics as well as special edu

cation topics to parents, professionals, and our community partners. Caring for individuals with disabilities takes a wealth of support, knowledge and information.

The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities (OCDD) is releasing a draft of the revised Self-Direction Handbook for stakeholder review and feedback.

The Self-Direction Advisory Group worked with us for more than a year to update the handbook to improve organization, guidance, and support for individuals participating in Self-Direction, their families, employers, Support Coordination Agencies (SCAs), and Local Governing Entities (LGEs).

OCDD is requesting feedback from stakeholders, including
- Self-Direction Employers,
- Support Coordination Agencies (SCAs),
- Local Governing Entities (LGEs), and other interested parties.

The revised handbook will be available for review for a two-week period ending June 12, 2026.
