Family Support

The Pacesetters Family Support Program is a project funded by a grant with the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. The goal of the program is to assist individuals with severe disabilities and help their families to remain together in their homes and communities.

The program is funded by state dollars and helps families purchase services, supplies and equipment. Services may be limited by the availability of funds and local priorities.

The primary focus of the family support program is to support:

Families with children with severe disabilities; school age or younger.

Adults with severe disabilities that chose to live with their families.

Adults with severe disabilities that are residing in the community in an

unsupported setting (not in a state or federally funded residential setting)
