Family Council

Too often people think there is nothing they can do to improve a situation or make a change. They think that because they are only one person they can’t make a difference. However, it is when many people come together that a lot can be accomplished! This idea is at the heart of the Family Council at Totally Kids. 

The primary purpose of a Family Council is for families, as a group, to influence the quality of care for their children. There are many benefits to having a Family Council. One benefit to Family Council is that it is a wonderful tool to help build and maintain positive and healthy relationships. Our Family Council advocates for families and they have worked together with staff and administration to solve problems that benefit the entire Totally Kids community.  The Family Council has also organized multiple fundraisers. In turn donating 100% of the proceeds to the residents! These funds have been used to enhance our movie collection and buy new toys for our younger residents. Currently, they are organizing a fundraiser to purchase all the side dishes for the Totally Kids Thanksgiving dinner that benefits the staff that work on this holiday. They will be selling candy, chips and other delicious snacks. You’ll see the council members walking the halls with goodies in hand. If you would like to participate in the Family Council, please feel free to stop by on the first Saturday of every month at 11 am. The meeting is held in the acute conference room. If you have questions, please call Kristian Million at ext 140 or Crystal Lindsay at ext. 133.
