Who is the Family Resource Liaison?
The Family Resource Liaison works in collaboration with La Crosse County Human Services. The FRL is an individual who contacts families after a Children with Special Needs referral has been made. Any family who has a child with a special needs may make a Children with Special Needs referral. There is no fee for FRL support. The Family Resource Liaison works to engage children with special needs and their families to community support based on the strengths and needs identified by the family. The goal is to strengthen the family by working with families/children to build a community support network. This is accomplished by enhancing their ability to identify and access community resources to meet their self-identified needs. All families who have made a Children with Special Needs referral have access to the Family Resource Liaison to provide them with the assistance necessary to meet their needs.
