Words from Families 

There have been times when as a parent I have needed advice, information, or just someone to talk to who understood my situation. I have found the Family Support Network was able to help me in all of these areas.

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.

• Supports professionals working with families caring for children with special needs.
• Sponsors workshops, trainings and support groups.
• Promotes collaboration among parents, families and service providers.
