Narrative

The WORK Inc. Family Support Center is a Community Resource Center based at our headquarters in Dorchester, MA. We offer people with developmental disabilities (DD) and their families support and education. We can help them live more independent and fulfilling lives. Our mission is to do whatever it takes to help families to stay together. We support parents, caregivers and people with disabilities (PwD) with self-determination and individualized choices.

The WORK Inc. Family Support Center is dedicated to offering services tailored to the needs of families. Services are consistent with their spiritual and cultural values. The FSC offers many ways for families to get together. They can share common experiences. They can build relationships. We have a supportive place to take a break and socialize. The Center hosts dinners, rec activities, sibling groups and advocacy activities based solely upon the needs and interest of families.
