N*COURAGE*MINT was formed out of a mentorship program with John Tracy Clinic (www.jtc.org). We sought this mentorship based on their years of service to families, specifically parents, who have children with hearing loss. N*COURAGE*MINT is based mainly on creating a safe and healthy environment for parents to understand the facts and feelings surrounding parenting a child with hearing loss. This kind of support is needed because more than 90% of children born with hearing loss are born to hearing parents. Hearing loss is a new experience for these parents. Educating and supporting parents helps them become true advocates for their children no matter what language philosophy they choose. N*COURAGE*MINT offers parents and their extended family an opportunity to meet each other, share their journey, and helps to develop a strong foundation for each participant. N*COURAGE*MINT hopes that a strong foundation will better equip each parent; individually, as a couple, as family, and in parent - professional and parent - teacher relationships.
