Q: How would you describe your experience with FRN?
Parent 3
I was connected with FRN by Kaiser the moment that my child was diagnosed, which was a really
critical point for receiving helpful information through this entire process. Anything later would not
have been as useful. I appreciate that I can keep coming back for additional help when my child
reaches new stages of his journey.
Parent 2
I wish parents knew more about your services and how there is help even according to ethnicity or languages spoken. You guys are awesome!
Parent
FRN makes me feel strong and always has an answer for my questions.
