About EASA

Family & Friends Leadership Council

The EASA Family & Friends Leadership Council (FFLC) brings families together to inform improvements to EASA Programs and to build strong advocacy for EASA in Oregon.

Our Mission is to help families experience the excellence of EASA.

"We want every family served by EASA to leave the program with positive
feelings, acquired life skills, and better outcomes for their child or loved one."
- FFLC Chair

You're Invited! Join other EASA family and friends statewide to make a difference for our family members!

What We Do:
Powered with what we've learned through our experiences in EASA, we meet regularly to:

  • Recommend improvements to EASA

  • Advocate for EASA in Oregon

We work on projects that:

  • Enhance support for families and friends during their involvement in EASA
  • Promote appropriate communication about EASA to potential clients and their families
  • Improve the process of transitioning out of EASA
  • Encourage community support for individuals and their families
  • See our current projects >>
