Support from one of our staff members as an advocate for you at a meeting at your school, work, or faith community regarding a situation or topic you need help with.

Positive Support Services - Among Friends is Restructuring
We are undergoing a business restructure here at Among Friends. We are becoming two separate agencies that will each work to provide the services we are so passionate about!
Shanya will continue providing trainings (anywhere) and private pay consultation (anywhere) through Among Friends. She will focus on her passion of working with parents and teams of people who experience ID/DD to build capacity. She will also continue to grow the train-the-trainer certification program.
Cara is in the process of opening a new agency, Pathway to Common Ground. It will focus on working directly with people who experience ID/DD and their teams, also providing private pay consultation (anywhere) and also Medicaid funded positive support services in Washington. It will be opening in the Fall of 2026, and we will add the contact information as it becomes available.
Thank you for being our incredible community partners! We look forward to continuing to collaborate in the future. We will share more information here as we have additional news.
