Did you know? Individuals and families who have been affected by developmental challenges often go without support and have difficulty finding support.

What is a developmental challenge?
A developmental challenge is a broad term to describe a disability or disorder that is pervasive during childhood development and continues into adulthood. Many people who struggle with developmental challenges don't feel that their lives are worth living. Additionally, people with these difficulties have likely experienced some form of abuse and need assistance in learning how find purpose for their lives, heal from the past and effectively respond to adverse life experiences. Examples of developmental challenges include:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
