Remember when your child was newly diagnosed?
Would it have helped to have someone to talk with who has “been there”?
Are you interested in supporting other parents?

In our free, interactive Parent Mentor Training learn from a fellow parent about:
Parent-to-Parent Support
Communication Skills
Listening Techniques
Community Resources

If you are a parent, caregiver, or guardian of a child/youth with special health care needs and would like to make a difference in the lives of others, please join us for a free opportunity to become a trained Parent Mentor.

This training is open to all families who have a child with a medical, physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition.
