Social Connections

Bringing families together — because no one should face this journey alone.

A serious illness can isolate a child and their family in ways that are hard to describe. Hospital stays, long travel days, disrupted routines, and emotional exhaustion can make it difficult to stay connected with others — just when connection is needed most.

At Partnership for Children, we believe that healing, hope, and comfort grow in community. That’s why we create opportunities for children and families to come together — to laugh, share, relax, and feel understood.

What We Provide

  • Family gatherings and events that offer fun, rest, and togetherness in safe and welcoming spaces

  • Opportunities to connect with other families who understand the unique challenges of serious illness

  • Recreational activities tailored for all abilities, focused on joy and inclusion

How It Helps

Isolation can be one of the most difficult parts of caring for a seriously ill child. Our social connection programs help families:

  • Build supportive relationships with others walking a similar path

  • Take a break from stress in environments that are safe and uplifting

  • Feel seen, valued, and part of a caring community
