A Source of Comfort and Shared Experiences
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is pleased to host a wide range of family support groups. These groups welcome new families and are available to provide comfort and solace to parents and others who are coping with a child's chronic medical condtion, illness or injury.

Support groups are an important part of the care our families receive at Children's Hospital and integral to our mission to provide care that is family centered. Through these groups, parents and caregivers meet others facing similar issues, exchange helpful, practical information and learn new skills to help in caring for their child, while managing his or her healthcare and any stress that family members may be experiencing as a result of their child's diagnosis or medical condition.
