Family Support Network of the Sandhills

 

Parent-to-Parent Matching

Parents of children with disabilities and health problems provide invaluable support to each other by sharing experiences, frustrations, knowledge, and joys.  There is a common bond between parents of children with disabilities.  Yet, many times parents are not able to discover this bond because they don’t know where to turn to find other parents facing similar situations.

 The Support Parent Network is a network of volunteer parents whose children have a wide range of disabilities and conditions. These parents are available for one on one contact with other parents who may be facing a new diagnosis or just a new issue in their child’s life. Family Support Network of the Sandhills currently has 12 trained volunteer Support Parents, including 2 dads, in Moore County. Nonetheless, with the growing rate of families receiving new diagnoses, we are in search for more parents to fill this role.
