Family Support

Located in Patterson, LA, Family Support from the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (PWSA) is dedicated to providing vital assistance to individuals affected by Prader-Willi syndrome and their families. Our compassionate Family Support team offers accurate information and comprehensive resources from the moment of diagnosis, ensuring families feel empowered and informed. We provide a range of services including parent mentoring, nutritional education and meal planning, behavior management support, and guidance through the application and appeal processes for Medicaid, insurance coverage, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Families seeking assistance are encouraged to reach out to their local PWSA chapter through our online chapter locator or join one of our supportive Facebook groups for community connections and shared experiences.
