Parent to Parent, a collaboration with the Family Support Center of NJ, is a statewide network of parents supporting families of children with developmental delays, disabilities, and special health needs.

As trained supporting parents, we offer emotional support and information, and act as a valuable resource to families. We offer assistance in learning the necessary skills to help parents face the challenges of raising their child.

We are not counselors or therapists. We are parents who have experienced the feelings and emotions that come after learning that our children have a developmental delay, disability, or other special health needs. We offer moral support and encourage parents to feel comfortable and optimistic about the future.

Parent to Parent is dedicated to supporting families at their most challenging times and to celebrating each new victory. Parents helping parents...it's a simple concept that works.

What Parent to Parent Offers:

One-to-one matches of families who have similar needs and experiences.

Emotional support for parents when they learn their child has a developmental delay, disability, or other special health needs.

Current information on a variety of disabilities and health issues.

Training for parents who would like to become a supporting parent.

Information on local, state and national resources for the child and family.

List of informative books on issues related to children with special needs.

Quarterly Newsletter

Our goal at Parent to Parent
is to give families the skills and support they need to help their children with special needs reach their full potential.

Our hope
is for families to feel less isolated and more confident about themselves.
