Our goal is for this website to be a first-step, giving families and service providers access to information that will help them support children in their care. The resources focus on Disabilities/Health Care Conditions, Laws and Parental Rights, Family Support Services, and resources that are local, state, and national.
Who we are:
At Parent to Parent Family Support Network™-High Country (FSN-HC), we believe all children have abilities and gifts to give.
Parent to Parent FSN-HC provides free support, caring connections, information and hope to families who have a premature baby, a child with a disability, an emotional or behavioral challenge, a mental illness, a chronic health condition or to families who are grieving the death of a child.
We provide information to help families see the possibilities for their children, and tools so that they can turn that potential into reality.
