Parent-to-Parent of Maine is a program offered through our Family-to-Family Health Information Centers funded by a Maternal and Child Health grant. We are families connecting families in similar situations so we may share experiences, information and support. Through a matching process we pair up parents of a newly diagnosed child with a trained, support parent who has a child with a similar disability or health care issue. This program is designed to help parents, who are just becoming aware of their child's diagnosis or are going through a transition, "learn the ropes" by providing them with information and support.

Support Parent Training. We will help prepare the experienced parent by providing information about the Parent-to-Parent program; the role of a support parent; some useful communication skills; and how to access resources. Mileage and a stipend are available for attending the training
