The Moore Center recognizes the undeniable value of family members as caregivers for a child or adult with an intellectual/developmental disability and or acquired brain disorder. Any person regardless of age who is eligible for services through The Moore Center and who lives at home with a family member is also eligible for Family Support Services. This support can come in a variety of ways: financial, through the respite program; social, through discounted gift cards and recreation events like the annual holiday party and the Family Support Picnic; and informational, with staff aiding family members in negotiating the challenges of the Medicaid system and the procurement of services. The New Hampshire Bureau of Developmental Services established and supports the Family Support Advisory Councils for each of its ten service areas. The council advises and monitors the area agency regarding family issues and helps to develop goals and family support plans with The Moore Center’s Family Support department. The Family Support Advisory Council works closely with The Moore Center to work through issues relevant to families. It is made up entirely of parents and guardians and meets the second Tuesday of every month.
