H.E.A.R.T.S. Connection is a Family Resource Center and a Family Empowerment Center staffed by parents and family members of Kern County children with disabilities and/or special health care needs. Staff in the Family Resource Center provide families with parent to parent support, advocacy, training and assistance, resource coordination and information.

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for people with special needs through a family resource center that symbolizes professionalism, dignity, compassion, and respect.
We share the vision to be instrumental in the development of a community that is more comfortable with, and accepting of, people with special needs.

Connection Family Resource Center provides emotional and educational support to parents of children who have or are at risk of having a disability.Our caring staff help parents to understand their children's future which may include hospitalizations, physical therapy, speech therapy and special education. For example...we lend books from our extensive resource library, facilitate support groups, provide assistance with Individualized Educational Plans (IEP), host sibling activities, and family fun days.
