The Family Support Network of North Carolina provides essential services for families of children with special needs, starting with peer support that connects them with trained parent mentors who offer understanding and practical advice. They also provide vital information about local resources, including educational services and healthcare options. Families can participate in workshops focused on advocacy and navigating the school system, while receiving referrals to counseling, therapy, and respite care tailored to their needs. Community events and support groups foster connections among families, and advocacy support equips them with the tools to champion their children’s rights. With access to a resource library full of helpful literature, the network empowers families and creates a strong, supportive community for children to thrive.
