Parents Helping Parents is here for you from the moment your child first has a suspected or confirmed disability diagnosis. You are not alone during this confusing and difficult time.
Sharing the Journey is a program to help you navigate and understand the complex and emotional process of raising a child with a disability. Connect with other parents going through similar experiences, and work with experienced facilitators to create a plan that will help you, your child, and your entire family thrive during this challenging time.
