As 2025 comes to an end, Guiding Hands Guardianship Services reflects with gratitude on its first year of service. While we started slowly, it quickly became a year of significant impact.

✔️ Supported 25+ families with guardianship filings
✔️ Served families across Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Morris, Middlesex, Union & Mercer Counties
✔️ Provided guidance with DDD applications, education, and referrals
✔️ Reached 7,253 website visitors seeking help and clarity

We are deeply grateful to our partners, St. Joseph's Health and Montclair State University, as well as to the government agencies, community organizations, and families who trusted GHGS and referred others to us.

Thank you for being part of our first year 💙 We look forward to what’s ahead.

We attended one of our sister organizations' holiday celebrations, Passaic County Parents of Adults with Disabilities-PACOPAD. It was a pleasure to reconnect with parents, colleagues, elected officials, and community partners who continue to support families of individuals with disabilities: a joyful celebration of community, collaboration, and the holiday spirit.
