Virtual Conversation: Ensuring Safety & Thriving Lives in Licensed Settings
In light of the “Hidden at Home” investigative news series,” which exposed critical flaws in New Jersey’s licensed residential settings for adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD), we invite all stakeholders, particularly parents and other family members, to share their experiences. What’s working? What’s not working? How can we ensure our loved ones are safe, supported, and thriving?
This conversation aims to elevate the voices of families and drive meaningful change. Specifically, we want to learn your thoughts about how we – as a community – should move forward.
This initial two-hour program will be held on Monday, June 30, 2025, from 12pm to 2pm. There will be an opportunity for participants to speak during the meeting as well as to submit their written thoughts before, during, and after the program.
This program is being co-hosted by the Regional Family Support Planning Councils’ Health and Safety Subcommittee, the New Jersey Council on Developmental Disabilities’ Health and Wellness Subcommittee, and the Office of the NJ Ombudsman for Individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities and Their Families.
Join us to contribute insights, share concerns, and collaborate on solutions that strengthen the system for our loved ones.
Based upon the number of people sharing and the duration of the meeting, speakers may be asked to remain within certain timeframes.
Your input is important. If you cannot speak on June 30, please submit comments to Kyoko.coco@njcdd.org and include Hidden at Home in the subject line.
For any questions, please contact Kyoko Coco via email at Kyoko.Coco@njcdd.org or via phone at 609-341-3112. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
