When the conversation is about the health and well-being of women, mothers, babies, and families, resources matter.

Our communities are stronger when parents know where to turn, what support is available, and that they don’t have to navigate it all alone.

We’re proud to have a seat at the table and to keep connecting families with the resources they need to thrive.

Watch as Pamela Federline shares more about the resources available through the Partnership for Children of Cumberland County and our partners. We do this together!

💙 **SPECIAL STORY: A New Beginning**

Sometimes support means more than providing a resource. It means helping a family find a place to begin again.

A new mother and her family had recently arrived in North Carolina and were staying with a friend. They were navigating life with a newborn while also trying to find food, clothing, diapers, health care and other essential resources.

Through **Family Connects**, a specially trained nurse helped connect the family with resources and support, including Medicaid, WIC, SNAP and local community connections. The family was also connected with a local Haitian church and was preparing to move into their own apartment.

This is what community support can look like: meeting a family where they are and helping them take the next step. ❤️

**Family Connects** provides support to eligible families in Cumberland County during their baby’s first 12 weeks.

It was such a privilege to be in the room with women and organizations that value women’s health.

Yesterday, our very own Pamela Federline joined the conversation at the Women’s Health Summit: Elevating Maternal, Infant and General Care, hosted by Vice Chairwoman Veronica Jones.

Pamela spoke about resources and access for parents of children ages 0–5—and the importance of making sure families know what support is available to them.

Partnership for Children of Cumberland County is here.

We’re proud to be part of conversations that help strengthen families, support parents, and improve outcomes for children in our community.
