Welcome to the Children's Research Triangle

Parent Support Network


CRT's Parent Network's mission is simple-to provide a forum for parents to share their experiences in caring for children affected by prenatal alcohol or drug exposure. The network offers opportunities to learn while sharing ideas, worries, resources and successes with other adoptive or foster parents who are dealing with challenges associated with prenatal substance exposure.

Each meeting includes a short program of topics of interest to the group participants. Following the program, a brief "business" meeting takes place to plan future topics as well as special projects and events. An informal parent discussion follows.
There is a confidential on-line forum for parents available.
