All children and families are unique and possess their own set of strengths and capacities.  LAN 29 exists so that families in our community have what they need to develop and thrive. Therefore, we work together – families, providers, and neighborhood organizations, citizens, educators, and members of the business, labor, and faith communities – to ensure that our services support and enhance family development, are respectful of families’ rights, their needs, and their diversity.

Our service philosophy is:

• To build on families’ strengths

• To use community resources and natural support networks in a coordinated and integrated way to meet families’ needs

• To partner with individuals and families in developing solutions to life’s challenges

• To respond as early as possible to prevent family crisis

LAN 29 envisions for Rock Island and Mercer counties a system of services and supports so that each child is safe and thriving in a permanent home, families are supported by their neighborhoods, and the community itself takes responsibility for ensuring that this vision becomes a reality.
