Parent to Parent of Georgia
Supporting Parents
Supporting Parents is our signature program that matches you to another parent who has had similar experiences.
Families of children with a disability or special healthcare need
From p2pga.org/support ↗About this program
The staff at Parent to Parent offers families individualized support and information from staff with personal experience caring and advocating for a child with a disability or special healthcare need.
When you call us you will be connected to a regional coordinator who lives in your area and has knowledge of the special education and healthcare process. The coordinator will also be able to match you with a volunteer Support Parent who can listen and share their similar experiences.
P2P Supporting Parents are trained volunteers who are matched based on your unique situation. For example, you can speak to someone whose child has the same disability, has a child in special education in your area, or has experience with a therapy or treatment your child needs.
In addition to our Supporting parent program, P2P offers support group throughout Georgia. If you are interested in sharing and learning with others in your community, your coordinator will help locate a support group in your area.
