Mental health matters for every member of a family, not just the person who is struggling. That is the idea behind World Mental Health Day on October 10.

We help individuals with severe and persistent mental illness find their footing again.

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, and at FIFNC, that means celebrating the individuals and families we walk alongside every day across North Carolina.

Support looks different for every family: sometimes it is help planning for the future, sometimes it is connecting with other parents who understand the journey, and sometimes it is simply having someone in your corner who will not let you navigate the system alone.

This month, join us in recognizing the strength and joy that inclusion brings to our communities. Learn more about who we serve at fifnc.org/about-us.

We will be gathering with chapters and staff from across the state this week at our annual Summit, so our office team may be a little slower to respond than usual.

We are still here for you. If something comes up while we are away from our desks, your local chapter is a great first stop for support. Find yours at fifnc.org/find-help.

What does it look like when families, volunteers, and chapters from across North Carolina show up in the same room? That is what FIFNC's Summit is all about.

Over September 17-18, our statewide network gathers for shared meals, working sessions, and time to celebrate a year of progress. It is a reminder that the strength of our programs lies not just in funding or paperwork. It is the people who keep showing up for each other, county by county.

Curious what FIFNC does the other 363 days of the year? Take a look at fifnc.org.
