We connect families with each other, community resources, experienced parent mentors, tools to navigate complex systems in healthcare and insurance and more.
By training families, we are empowering them to advocate for the needs of their child and to lead in their local communities and beyond.
In serving as leaders alongside families, we are educating healthcare providers, policy makers, teachers and others on the improved outcomes from including, listening to and honoring the voices of these families.
Our unique network of staff and volunteers have personal experience navigating the healthcare journey of an individual with a special healthcare need, chronic illness or disability.
We serve families and children across all diagnoses and all ages.
Our programs provide support, information and resources from someone who is on a similar journey caring for a child with a special health care need, chronic illness or disability.
