Parent Advocates

Trail Association for Community Living (TACL) is supportive of families, having a designated person on the Board of Directors that works as an advocate on behalf of the family of the clients. This person is responsible for ensuring that the families request for needs are met and fulfilled and whose purpose is to strengthen and support families faced with the extraordinary circumstances that come with having a family member who has a disability.
