1. LISTEN
We start with your family, what you’re looking for, what you’ve tried, and what matters most right now.
The Family Wayfinder HUB is now open
Families don’t have to build the bridge themselves.
The strongest bridges aren’t built FOR a community…they are built WITH them, as one Ohana.
♥ Start with Family Connect →How the Family Wayfinder HUB Works
Our process is simple, family-centered, and designed to meet you where you are.
2. PRIORITIZE
Together we identify what needs attention now and what can wait.
3. CONNECT
We use our curated resource app to explore options that may fit your child’s needs, your family’s priorities, and your community.
4. FOLLOW UP
We check in to see whether the connection was helpful and help you think about what comes next.
A resource list gives you places to start…a Wayfinder helps you find your way.

Who We Help
The Family Wayfinder HUB is for parents and caregivers of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children across North Carolina.

♥ Start with Family Connect →Our Role
The Family Wayfinder HUB is a navigation and connection service. We help families explore options, identify resources that may fit, make connections, and determine next steps.
We do not replace schools, medical providers, or other community resources. We help families connect with organizations and programs that may be best positioned to support their goals, with follow-up along the way.

The Ohana BRIDGE strengthens outcomes for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children by connecting families, communities, and resources through collaboration, education, and family-centered support.
Our Vision
We envision a future where Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children have access to the supports, language, education, and opportunities they need to thrive, and where families and communities work together to create lasting change.
Why We Exist
We strengthen connections among families, resources, professionals, and communities so families feel supported, informed, and empowered on their journey.
