Al-Anon-style community support for parents, siblings, and caregivers through storytelling, town halls, and personal connection.

Modeled after the spirit of Al-Anon, we create safe spaces for people to share their experiences, struggles, and hard-earned wisdom through storytelling, town halls, and personal connection.

GET INVOLVED

The Macias Family Foundation Service program is a community of support for parents, siblings, caretakers, and loved ones navigating life with special needs.

This program exists to reduce isolation, foster genuine understanding, and give families the emotional tools and support network they need to not just survive — but truly thrive alongside their loved one.

FAQ’s

  • Our activity programs create experiences for the special needs individual. Our Service programs provide emotional support, community, and practical wisdom for the caregivers and family members who support them every day.

  • It’s modeled after Al-Anon. Just as Al-Anon supports people affected by someone else’s alcoholism, our Service supports people affected by caring for someone with special needs.

  • We offer weekly or monthly support meetings, town hall events with expert speakers, storytelling through social media, real-life solutions shared by other families, and direct connection to people who truly understand what you’re going through.

  • We believe true support goes beyond creating experiences for the special needs individual. Our Service programs exist to support the families, parents, siblings, and caregivers — the people who carry the daily weight of care, love, and responsibility.

    This is where we build community, share real-life wisdom, offer emotional support, and remind caregivers they are not alone.

  • This is for parents, siblings, caregivers, teachers — anyone who loves and supports a special needs individual and needs emotional support, practical advice, or community.

  • You can attend our meetings, share your own story, volunteer at events, or simply reach out when you need support. Everyone who’s been through it has something valuable to give.
