Opportunities for Family Leadership

Opportunities for Family Leadership (OFL) was created in 1992 as a family-led and family-driven program. The family perspective is the driving force behind all consultation activities. We value the participation of families throughout our system of care.

Our goal is to ensure that the family voice is included in every stage of planning, implementation and evaluation of services for the special populations we serve.

Whether dealing with brain injuries, behavioral health issues, emotional disabilities, developmental or intellectual disabilities, we strive to ensure that every family member has the opportunity to offer his or her leadership throughout the commonwealth. Additionally, OFL will develop mechanisms to support changes in the services offered to families.

You Are Not Alone

Being a family member, parent or caregiver of a person with a brain injury, behavioral health issues, emotional disability, or developmental or intellectual disability can be very challenging. The best support you have comes from others who know what you are going through. Reach out today and become a leader for families like your own.
