New Hampshire Family Voices

New Hampshire was one of the first Family Voices organizations in the U.S., starting in 1994 as a grassroots network of families of children and youth with special health care needs that shared information, resources, health programs, and policies. Today, there is a Family Voices Affiliate in almost every state, and New Hampshire Family Voices (NHFV) continues to help families and professionals navigate the systems designed to serve them and foster a strong network of support. NHFV connects families of children and youth with special healthcare needs and disabilities to the resources they require and provides vital information to help them access the services and support they need to thrive. My guest today is Sylvia Pelletier, the Director at New Hampshire Family Voices. I hope you enjoy learning about them. Share this episode with someone you think could benefit from their services.
