Connecting Families to What They Need

Moving Dorchester Forward connects individuals and families with the resources, guidance, and compassionate support they need to thrive.

The Dorchester County Local Care Team, coordinated by MDF, is a collaborative, interagency group that bridges gaps between behavioral health, education, social services and community resources. The team works closely with families and representatives from child-serving agencies to review each child’s unique situation and connect them to the programs and supports that can make a difference. Our goal is to help every family navigate complex systems so their children are set up for success.
