Rowell Family Empowerment of Northern California, Inc. was founded in 1995 by parents. We are a parent-run organization specifically funded (mostly by state grants & contracts) to provide direct services to families with children and adults with disabilities. A child/individual may have a diagnosis, may be at risk, or the parents may be concerned and would like to seek an evaluation. Whatever the reason, we provide guidance to families who may not be familiar with the special education system, community navigation, or related services. We do this through providing support, training, and parent consultation services such as:

Janeth moved to Redding when she was 13 from the Bay Area. She the second oldest of seven kids and from a young age she has helped translate for her mom. Janeth previously worked as a CNA for 4 years before she started to learn about Rowell which then led her to work for her sister, Jasmin, as well as caring for other adults with disabilities who she has grown close with them and their families. She has always found myself wanting to help people so she’s happy to be able to continue with that here at Rowell. Outside of everything, Janeth enjoys trying new foods, whether that be cooking at home or trying a new restaurant. She loves to go thrifting and being on the hunt for good pieces to be re-loved. Her all-time favorite pastime is to just be at home watching musicals and singing her heart out on the couch.
