Prenatal and postnatal guidance and support 
Pillar Support

Your first call when dealing with a crisis

Whether it comes in utero, after birth, or during toddlerhood, receiving a diagnosis for a child is always difficult. Sometimes there is no apparent diagnosis, and parents are at a loss. The world of special needs, therapies, and services is a new landscape to navigate.

We’ll help you get started with what’s most helpful to you right now, and you can build up those services and therapies gradually as you need them.

Who is eligible?

Everyone! This is a completely free service for any parents

Here are some ways we can help you:

  • If you are facing a hospitalization, we can guide you in dealing with the details. We’ll also walk you through the process of bringing your child home — helping you learn to care for your child’s medical needs, like handling a feeding tube.
  • Addressing developmental delays from an early age can make a huge difference in achieving milestones. We can help you apply for Early Intervention services such as speech, occupational, and physical therapy. We can also advise you on which therapies to request or how to position your baby until you get therapy.
  • In most cases, medically fragile children may be eligible for HCBS (Home and Community Based Services), which includes respite services. We can help you get started with the application process.
  • We can provide you with diapers and other newborn essentials even before you are approved for any services.

Grateful
parents share

“Getting a diagnosis for our child was beyond overwhelming. I was immediately driven to do everything I possibly could to fix this. It was such a relief to have Pillar Support step in and reassure us that there was no rush. Surie told us to take a deep breath, take it slow, and take the time to bond with our baby. She reminded me that at the core of all this is a beautiful baby who just needs to be loved. Just that alone bolstered us and brought us tremendous comfort.” 

“It’s been three weeks since we got our child’s diagnosis, and without Pillar Support, I don’t know how I would have survived. Surie helped us break the news to the rest of the family in a sensitive way, and I can call Pillar for support and guidance. It’s such a comfort to know I can ask any question without fear of judgment, and always get the answers I need.”
