Core offering

FAVOR is a statewide family-led nonprofit 501(c)(3) that provides direct peer support, advocacy training, and leadership development to families of children with medical, mental, emotional, and behavioral health challenges in Connecticut.

Product overview

FAVOR (Families Amplifying Voices Organizing & Rallying) is a statewide family-led, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that operates as a single unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The organization provides three interconnected programs: the Family Peer Support Program delivers direct peer support services through trained Family Peer Support Specialists who help families navigate special education and mental health systems; the Family Systems Management Program collaborates with families and providers to shape family-driven policies and practices statewide; and the Learning and Leadership Academy provides workshops and trainings to empower youth and family champions developing their leadership and peer support skills. FAVOR also coordinates the Connecticut Medical Home Initiative to ensure children with special health care needs access coordinated quality care. All programs use a wraparound approach emphasizing family and youth voice for achieving successful outcomes.
