About Us

Typical community services agencies begin their existence by designing a service model, soliciting funding, and then “fitting” consumers into the programs and services that have been designed. Supportive Concepts for Families, Inc. is different. We began with nothing more than a service philosophy. Concisely stated, that philosophy is that each person who comes to us for service is unique and has unique needs. We believe in building services around the individual and not compelling the person to adapt to a pre-designed program or service. The Supportive Concepts for Families, Inc. service philosophy requires us to establish and arrange services to accommodate the unique needs of each individual.

Recognizing the need to build services around the individual and not compel the person to adapt to a pre-designed program or service, Supportive Concepts for Families, Inc. was founded in 1993. Today, still stressing that same service philosophy, fifty-one percent (51%) of the Board is composed of consumers and consumer representatives (e.g. a family member of a consumer). Supportive Concepts for Families, Inc. has grown rapidly as a provider of public supports to individuals with disabilities and currently supports hundreds of individuals in several counties throughout Pennsylvania. While Supportive Concepts for Families, Inc. began in Berks County, it also serves individuals in Blair, Philadelphia, Lehigh, Schuylkill, Huntingdon, Mifflin and Juniata Counties, as well as other surrounding counties.
