The new program is called FAST. It's an acronym for Family Advocacy, Support Training.

The program is designed to help parents and guardians of children with behavioral and emotional health disorders advocate for their children.

One parent says the program has helped his children get out of a horrible situation.

"I really can't say enough about these guys. They give with their hearts. They've reached into their own pockets, they take their own time, they do this because they care," Scott Lavigne of Dunbar said following the announcement.

Legal aid will provide legal representation for these families in addition to providing peer support groups.
