As the parent of children with disabilities, chronic illnesses and other special healthcare needs you know the difference parent support makes, whether it’s the opportunity to talk with some one who truly understands your unique situation or simply a friendly and sympathetic voice on the other end of the phone line. If you are receiving this invitation it is because you’ve told us you’re interested in supporting families like yours.
You know that the help you have to offer is valuable and unique.
You understand the difference parent-to-parent support can make.

If you can, please answer the following questions:
Do you need childcare? If so, how many kids will you bring? Please tell me their names, ages, dietary needs, and any special accommodations we need to let the child care workers know about.
Texas Parent to Parent is always looking for caring and capable adults to provide child care during our trainings. If you have someone in mind who you think would be interested in working for the day please let us know.
