Our deep belief that all children have abilities and gift to give is a core foundation of our program. We provide information to help families see the possibilities for their children, and tools so that they can turn that potential into reality.

For 21 years, Family Support Network-High County (FSN-HC) has been providing services to families who have a premature baby, a child with a disability, emotional and behavioral challenges, chronic health condition and families who have grief due to the death of a child.  There are no other organizations in the area that provide our unique services. Our services are focused, effective, confidential and free of charge.  We provide connections and hope.

One of our own High Country friends, Luke Wilcox, was able to cross the swinging bridge in his wheelchair on top Grandfather Mountain because of the recent changes made to make the bridge more accessible. Check out this news clip from Tricities News featuring Luke!

Words from Families 

I realize the immense importance of having services available through Parent to Parent FSN-HC. In the past few weeks we have had to make some critical decisions concerning our child. Just having another parent share the stress and fears seems to ease the burden.
