In partnership with Mary’s Center for Maternal and Child Care we provide families of CYSHCN and the professionals that serve them, with one-on-one assistance, face to face and online training on topics related to health care.
We help families navigate through DC’s health care system.
We connect families to resources within their communities.
We help families develop skills necessary to cooperatively and effectively participate in planning and decision making on health related issues.
