Parent to Parent

Spokane Parent to Parent is part of a statewide network that fulfills a crucial role in the adjustment of a family to their child with a disability. We show families that they are not alone. Parent to Parent provides a safe environment for families to work though their emotions and we watch them find their own answers. We have the privilege to share both their sorrows and their joys.

Parent to Parent is based on a deep respect. A respect for children with disabilities, a respect for ourselves as parents, and a respect for other people. It is this philosophy of respect that allows us to walk alongside new parents while they find their way in this community of disability. Our hope is to make your experience of having a child with a disability a little easier and less traumatic by offering support and community resources.
Spokane Parent to Parent provides:

• Personal support for parents when they learn that their child has a disability or chronic health condition
• Information on community resources for the child and family
• Statewide matching for families who have a child with a rare disorder
• One-on-one matches with other parents
• Current information on disabilities and health concerns
• Lending resource library
• Monthly support group meetings
