Texas Parent to Parent

The practice empowers families to be strong advocates through parent-to-parent support, resource referral, and education. TxP2P educates professionals about the unique needs of their children with the goal of improving care and opportunities for their children. They are dedicated to championing the efforts of a diverse set of parent support groups and advocacy on behalf of their children's well-being. The heart of TxP2P is the parent-to-parent peer support model, where parents volunteer to provide support and information to other parents. This model has been developed by and for parents to address the powerful emotions, new responsibilities, stress, and isolation that come with caring for a child with special needs. TxP2P provides a range of services, including parent support groups, resource referral, and education, to help families navigate the complex system of care for their children. By empowering families and educating professionals, TxP2P aims to improve the lives of Texas children and adults with disabilities and their families.
