New Parents
Congratulations! We would like to welcome your family to our community. If you did not receive our welcome bag at the hospital, please complete the New Parent Gift Bag Request . While you may be overwhelmed at the news of a new diagnosis, you are not alone. We are here to provide you with current and accurate information about Down syndrome and can match you with a trained parent mentor. We have resources for prenatal diagnosis, postnatal diagnosis, and Grandparents. In 2016 we helped to pass the Nebraska Down Syndrome Information and Support Act to regulate information new families receive at the time of diagnosis. If you were not given this information or a link to the NE DHHS website by your medical provider please contact us so that we can reach out to them to make sure they have the correct information to support future families receiving a diagnosis in Nebraska.
