Overview
Mission
Family support network of central carolina believes every child deserves a thriving family. Our mission is to provide comprehensive support, education, and resources for families facing two distinct challenges: those with infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) and those with children of any age experiencing any type of disability or special healthcare needs.
What it reported doing in 2024
Community support and other program services: families in the community who have a child at any age, with any diagnosis can access our services for free. We host 5 monthly virtual parent groups and offer sibling support groups twice per month. We have doubled the number of sessions offered to our sibling groups this year and hosted two statewide webinars focused on parent mentor trainings. We served over 150 families who have children with special needs. Our parent groups include the moms group (special needs), the dads group (special needs), rare disease group, parent advisory group, the black parent group, and the after nicu spanish speaking support group.we have over 80 parent mentors available to be matched with another family who has a child with a similar diagnosis or experienced a nicu stay. Our staff can help families find resources in the community for basics such as food assisance, clothing, housing, and advocacy. We serve on a number of committees within the healthcare system and in the community.
