Resilient Families United Caregiver Support & Youth Resources
Resilient Families United (RFU) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to ensuring no family raising children with complex needs has to navigate challenges alone. They support caregivers of youth ages 0–21 with developmental disabilities, behavioral or mental health needs, neurodiversity, or chronic health conditions.
In addition to core support programs, such as family peer mentorship, caregiver support groups, crisis prevention, IEP/special education training, and systems navigation, RFU provides practical direct assistance for families, including back-to-school clothes and supplies, art supplies for self-care, limited gift cards, and free electric-car charging. Most services are completely free, and self-referrals are welcome.
Must be a parent, caregiver, guardian, kinship caregiver, or foster parent raising a child or youth ages 0–21 (with developmental, behavioral, mental health, or other complex needs).
Call during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM) to speak with a coordinator about family support services, IEP advocacy, crisis stabilization, or available supplies and gift cards.
