HELLO, Hola’, Bonjour, Kamusta, Xin Chao, & Ni Hao

Families Helping Families of Greater Baton Rouge is a non-profit resource center organized and directed by family members of individuals with disabilities. We support families whose members have physical, cognitive, mental, emotional, or behavioral disabilities. Our own experiences further our commitment in reaching out to these families. We serve the following parishes — East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, West Feliciana, Ascension, Pointe Coupee, and Iberville.


Our mission is to provide the individualized services, information, resources, and support to positively enhance the independence, productivity, and integration of persons with disabilities into the community.
