Please join Family Support Network of Wake County for coffee, tea, and connections at Starbucks the 2nd Wednesday of every month. Meetings with topics and speakers are great but sometimes it’s just nice to get together, without pre-planned topics, and talk about whatever is on our mind at that moment.
We will meet between the hours of 9:00—11:00 a.m. You are welcome to come for part or all of the time. The next meeting will be October 13th at Starbucks, 3800 Lake Boone Trail, Raleigh.

The newest edition of our quarterly newsletter (Fall 2010) is now available. This issue contains information about our upcoming events including The Coffee Connection, Support Parent Training, Holland Tour Group (support group) meetings, Sibshop classes, and a Writing Effective IEP’s Workshop.
This workshop’s purpose is to orient/train parents who have “been there”, so that they may support others by helping them cope with the initial shock and day to day challenge of a child with special needs. If you feel you would like to help another parent by lending an ear through their difficult period, please join us to better prepare yourself by gaining pointers from other experienced support parents.
