We are always looking for veteran parents who are in a position to help support other parents like themselves, who are just beginning their journey of raising a child with a developmental delay, disability or special health care need. If you are interested in becoming a “support parent” or you would like to receive support yourself, please fill out the appropriate form and one of our P2P staff will contact you.

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.
