New Parent-to-Parent Program

DSIA has over 20 trained Parent Mentors to support families as they get a new diagnosis of Down syndrome for their newly born or expected child. New parents often have many concerns, ranging from what the future holds to what their child's immediate needs are. Parent Mentors reach out and provide support whenever and wherever needed, including at the hospital or later at the family's home. Parent Mentors receive specialized training in daylong workshops, and DSIA staff and volunteers coordinate with local hospitals, agencies, and families to ensure all families who want support receive it! Also, DSIA provides each new family our Down Comforter Package containing a parent guide and other useful information and resources. Call our 24-hour support line at 916-842-7175 or email: support@downsyndromeinfo.org to get the support of a Parent Mentor. Click here to learn more about this program.
