A Family-Centered Early Intervention Lunch & Learns with TNSTEP and TEIS. We are partnering with Family Voices.
Join us for an engaging overview of Family Voices of Tennessee (FVTN), a statewide nonprofit that provides free support to families of children with disabilities or complex medical needs.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- Who We Are: Get to know Family Voices of Tennessee and our mission to uplift and empower families across the state.
- How Referrals Work: Learn how families are referred to us and what happens after a referral is received—from first contact to ongoing support.
- The Power of Peer Support: Hear why lived experience matters and how emotional and informational support from another parent can make a real difference.
- Special Focus: PEARS Program: Explore how our PEARS (Parent Engagement and Resource Support) program is tailored to meet the needs of families with children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
Family Voices of Tennessee walks alongside families, because no one should feel alone in their journey.
