Established in 1986, the New Hampshire Family Support Conference Planning Committee was formed for the purpose of planning the annual New Hampshire Family Support Conference. The first conference was a one-day conference held in 1987 and attended by approximately 75 persons. Subsequently, the conference has grown to become a weekend conference now attended by over 700 persons. The New Hampshire Family Support Conference offers parents/family members/caregivers the opportunity to learn current information on a variety of topics, as well as providing an important forum to meet others sharing the same journey.
