Supporting Parent Trainings Meet other parents of
children with special needs, as well as staff from Parent to Parent of
Vermont for a fun and informal training to become a Supporting Parent
in our network. Once trained, Supporting Parents may be called on to
participate in our 1:1 Phone Peer Match program to offer support and
resources to parents in new situations for which you may have
experience. There is never an obligation.
You will also learn about
other opportunities to be involved in Parent to Parent, such as the
Family Faculty Program, Parent Panel opportunities at UVM, Sibshops,
Fundraisers, as well as other fun opportunities to connect with other
families. Learn about how you can give back to our Parent to Parent
community and be involved. Meet other parents, share experiences, learn
skills that will help you support other parents of children with
special needs.
Trainings are free, parking vouchers provided and lunch is included.
