Parent-To-Parent Training

Through our First Call program, trained parents and caregivers are given the opportunity to make a difference in a family's life by offering one-on-one support. We understand the importance of peer support when a family first receives a diagnosis that their child has a disability.

Parent-to-Parent training will give you the skills needed to support new parents. 

If you would like to:

  • Help a parent who has recently received a diagnosis for their child
  • Give insight on how to navigate the network of available community resources
  • Be there for a parent who is having a difficult time emotionally
  • Or be a friend to a family in need

 

Please contact us to see when the next Parent-to-Parent training is in our community.
