Family Supports
The Arc Mercer’s Family Support Department is the direct link to the wide-ranging services and programs we offer to people with special needs, their families and guardians, and support coordinators. In addition to connecting to the array of Arc Mercer supports, we will simplify the intake and admissions process, and can provide assistance in navigating the entire social services network.
The Family Support Department maintains an open line of communication, responding to every contact within 24 hours. In addition, staff arranges for one-on-one meetings and makes home visits.
