Families whose loved ones have a DD, SS or Autism waiver have Case Management services from IMPG. In an effort to connect families to relevant information FV Indiana shares the following update from IPMG:
Dear Colleague, Advocates, and Associates,

It is with sadness that we announce the departure of Holly Fuller, who has decided to resign from her role as Director of the North Central District effective March 11, 2011. Holly has played a major role in the formation and management of IPMG since its inception. We truly appreciate her contribution and wish her the very best as she pursues other options.

With Holly's departure some organizational changes will take effect on March 7, 2011We are confident these modifications will better position us to serve Consumers across the state.

Family Voices wants to share information about a current effort to educate the public about the impact of disability services. The Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, INARF, has started a website, www.INquietCrisis.org, to help educate the public about the issues faced by people with disabilities.

As stated by their President/CEO, Jim Hammond, “Disability services are often unknown to people outside the service delivery system. For many Hoosiers, there is a lack of awareness about the services that help people with disabilities live productive and independent lives - and the organizations that support them. Today, more than ever, it is critical that we change this reality. In the face of limited public resources, it is our responsibility to tell the story of the awesome impact that an investment in disability services can have for individuals and their communities.”
