Parent Support Map

Mapping Parent Support across North Carolina

Purpose

To document statewide and regional support opportunities for parents/guardians/caregivers of North Carolina children & youth. These opportunities provide support and guidance to families as they navigate the education, and related systems, that their children participate in. 

Resources

We have focused on resources for families with children both with and without special needs, and have also included support resources for families with children of particular disabilities. Types of support included are: one-on-one parent support, groups, and other programs and services. Our understanding is that most of these resources are offered to the community at no cost.  

Vision

To ensure that all families get connected locally with people or groups that can maintain parent support, and to continue to build parent power in our communities. 

How to Use

The resources are broken down into Statewide and Regional resources, and we recommend looking in both sections. Within both Statewide & Regional, the resources are further broken down into “General Support” for all children, “General Special Needs” for children with special needs, and then specific resources for children with particular disabilities (Autism, ADHD, etc.). If there are no parent support resources in your region or county, look at the Statewide resources to determine if support can be found there.
