The Massachusetts Parent to Parent (P2P) Program

Finding support can feel overwhelming. No one understands better than another parent who’s been there. Through the Massachusetts Parent to Parent (P2P) Program, families are connected with trained Volunteer Support Parents who share similar experiences, cultures, and languages. Operated by the Federation for Children with Special Needs, P2P offers compassionate, one-on-one emotional support for caregivers of children with disabilities or medical complexities. Because every family deserves to feel understood.
