Family to Family Network
The mission of the Family to Family Network in the Division of Rheumatology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is to:
- To link families who share a common experience
- To offer support for day–to–day issues, as well as during stressful times
- To decrease isolation and provide hope
The Family to Family Network was developed in collaboration with the Ohio River Valley Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation. For more information, contact a parent coordinator at 513-636-9880 (toll free: 1-800-344-2462, ext. 9880).
Family to Family Network is not a professional service of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Individuals are advised to use reasonable caution and judgment.
Through support and friendship we share hope for families of children with rheumatic disease.
Would you like to talk to someone who will:
- Listen
- Give ideas on how to manage daily treatments
- Encourage and offer hope
- Understand when things get overwhelming
- Provide compassion and support
- Share experiences and perspectives
- Keep an open mind
Who are we?
We are families willing to share our experiences and listen to yours. We are a group with varied experiences, including:
- New diagnosis
- Treatment options
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Nutritional concerns
- School issues
- Coping
- Sibling issues
How do you get connected?
- Let any member of the Rheumatology team know you are interested, or
- Call a parent coordinator at voice mailbox number 513-636-9880 (toll free: 1-800-344-2462, ext. 9880)
A parent coordinator will contact you and match you with a family that has similar experiences. The family will contact you by phone. "We'd like to hear from you" There are no fees associated with this volunteer program.
