Our Parent Groups
When we are faced with a child's disability, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, isolated, and ALONE.
FSNCC offers a range of FREE parent groups to offer parents an understanding and caring community. Often, there's just no substitute for the kind of empathetic support that comes from another parent who has faced a similar situation. To learn more about a group, or to be added to our mailing list, please email us at support@fsncc.org or call 336.832.6507.
