“Simply put, a financial advisor is a professional who helps individuals, families, and businesses accomplish their financial goals. Whether that goal is to get out of debt, save for retirement, fund education, build wealth, provide for loved ones, or something else entirely, a financial advisor should be a trusted partner in developing a long-term strategy to accomplish these goals. For families who have a loved one with a disability, accomplishing these goals be complicated process involving lots of different considerations, and a financial advisor would be an invaluable resource for ensuring long term security and success.” -Chris Wiklund

Come as you are! ☕🤎 Our Family & Caregiver Support Group is a relaxed, welcoming space to connect with other parents and caregivers who understand the journey.

There’s no formal agenda and no pressure to share. Want to talk? Great! Prefer to listen and just be around people who “get it”? That’s perfectly okay, too. Share your experiences, ask questions, exchange resources, celebrate the wins, or talk through the challenges. This is your group, and you help make it what you need it to be. We hope you’ll join us, grab a cup of coffee, and connect with others who understand.

Proud to work alongside the members of this incredible group!

We’re proud to recognize the organizations that make up Advocates for Autism of Massachusetts (AFAM) and the important work they do across the state.

AFAM brings together a diverse network of organizations, advocates, and community leaders with a shared commitment to advancing opportunities, services, and rights for people with autism and their families.

Each member organization brings its own expertise, perspective, and connection to the community. By working together, we can build a stronger collective voice and advocate for meaningful change that improves the lives of individuals with autism and supports greater opportunity, inclusion, and independence.

As we begin this next chapter together, we’re excited to formally recognize and celebrate the AFAM member organizations that make this network strong.

Learn more about AFAM, meet our member organizations, and explore our work together at thearcofmass.org/afam
