About us
Who We Are
Aavena is a Minnesota-based consultation provider dedicated to helping individuals and families understand and navigate Community First Services and Supports (CFSS). We provide independent, conflict-free guidance so that every participant has the information and support they need to make informed choices, develop strong service plans, and direct their own care with confidence.
At Aavena, we believe in listening first. Every consultation begins with your story, your goals, and your needs. From there, we provide the tools, education, and guidance you need to live with dignity, independence, and inclusion in your community.
