Parent to Parent Support Programs

The Parent to Parent Support Programs provides emotional support and information to families of children with special needs and/or disabilities.

Personal support from another parent, who has a child with similar needs, can be helpful in coping with many challenging experiences and feelings. Helping Parent volunteers have completed a training program and are available to provide support and information to other parents. All information will be kept confidential. There is no cost for this service.

           closely as possible

·         Current information on disabilities, medical conditions and

           community resources

·         Support meetings

·         Newsletters

·         Sibshops (sibling support)
