Words from Families 

The Parent to Parent FSN-HC program has been great for our family. It has connected us with a Support Family going through the same sort of problems we are having. It is good to have someone to talk to when you need it. It has really helped us get the peace of mind we needed.

Family Support Network-High Country (FSN-HC)

• Provides information and support for families who have a premature infant, a child with a disability (for example) or chronic illness or a family who has experienced the death of their child.
