What Is Futures Unwalled?

Futures Unwalled is a Southern California–based nonprofit that helps families navigate special education, mental health systems, and community resources. Founded by parents and advocates with lived experience, the organization focuses on empowering families—especially those with neurodivergent children or those facing systemic barriers.

What They Do

  • IEP & 504 Advocacy: Supports parents through special education processes by attending meetings, reviewing documents, and helping families understand their rights.

  • Resource Navigation: Connects families to services like housing support, mental health providers, and school-based resources.

  • Peer Support: Offers mentoring and community support from other parents who’ve been through similar challenges.

  • Case Management: Helps families stay organized and supported through ongoing advocacy and documentation assistance.

Why It Matters

Futures Unwalled meets families where they are—offering support that’s practical, trauma-informed, and rooted in experience. Services are free or low-cost and always focused on what families actually need to feel heard, included, and empowered.

Get Involved

Families can schedule free intake appointments via call, text, or email. Volunteers with lived or professional experience in advocacy are welcome to apply to support others.
