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, mental illness or 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.

Words from Families 

The Parent to Parent FSN-HC program has been great for our family. It has connected us with a Support Family going through the same sort of problems we are having. It is good to have someone to talk to when you need it. It has really helped us get the peace of mind we needed.
