Our Mission
“To serve as an overwatch advocate agency that protects incapacitated children & adolescents from individuals that harm, exploit, and endanger their overall well-being through negligence, while also denying their basic human rights for appropriate education and quality of life.”

Testimonials
What our families are saying
“Thank you to our State Representative for your help assisting us in getting an out-of-district placement for our son, Matthew. You connected us with the wonderful agency, Team Shawnie Advocacy Group, that has helped us with the placement. They stepped up when no one else would, and made the impossible possible. We are very grateful to you and Team Shawnie for helping our family.”
“I just wanted to thank everyone again and give you a quick update. Our son is having the best week ever in school. All the students have been amazing to him, both boys and girls. He says everyone talks to him including him in conversations and he said the kids are so different than anything I’ve ever experienced. Everyone, from boys and girls, talks with him in class. He is making friends, he also likes his lunch table.
“It is like a whole new lease on life for our son. I can’t thank you enough.”
“Thank you guys so much! We couldn’t be more blessed with the team we have by our side for our son. Thanks for always being there and working alongside us through this placement. I look forward to a long-time relationship with you guys! Thank you again for being a blessing to us!”
"We cannot express our gratitude enough to the Team Shawnie Advocacy Group for the incredible support they provided during our son's residential placement process. Their advocacy and guidance made a daunting situation much more manageable. They took the time to understand our unique challenges and fought tirelessly to ensure our son received the care and support he needed. Thanks to their efforts, he is now in a place where he can thrive, and we feel more confident about his future. We are truly thankful for their dedication and commitment to families like ours."
