How It All Started
Horizon Family Services was founded upon a fundamental belief: that every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive, irrespective of the challenges they encounter. Recognizing a critical need for compassionate and accessible support within the community for those navigating unique life circumstances, a dedicated group of individuals established this organization.
Observing firsthand the significant obstacles individuals faced in building independence, accessing therapeutic support, developing essential integration skills, and achieving overall well-being, the founders recognized these challenges as systemic barriers hindering the realization of individual potential.
Driven by a shared vision of a more inclusive and supportive community, they initiated action to address this gap. Their vision was to create an organization serving as a beacon of hope, providing personalized support and empowering individuals to exercise control over their lives.
Thus, Horizon Family Services was established. Grounded in the conviction that "every life journey is unique," the organization committed itself to cultivating a safe and nurturing environment where individuals could access the necessary resources and support to flourish. Its core commitments include fostering independence, providing structured therapeutic support services, developing integration skills, and promoting overall well-being.
From its initial stages, Horizon Family Services has evolved into a vital community resource, consistently adhering to its foundational principles: compassion, empowerment, and the steadfast belief that "hope takes root" when individuals are empowered to thrive.
