The mission of Parents Helping Parents is to help caregivers of individuals with a disability, and of any age, receive the support and services they need to reach their full potential by providing information, training, and resources to build strong families and improve systems of care.
The vision of Parents Helping Parents is straightforward.
- We envision a world where all individuals are valued, respected, and included.
- We want families to be filled with hope and optimism about their loved ones.
- We share knowledge and skills to create meaningful opportunities and plan for a secure future.
- We value diversity and endeavor to have our staff, board, volunteers, and donors reflect the community we serve.
With 40+ years of supporting families, our experienced staff members have a national reputation for being a trusted source of information for helping parents, caregivers, and children and adults with any disability or diagnosis.
At Parents Helping Parents, we believe that together we can change the world, one person at a time, one family at a time, one community at a time.
The PHP mission and vision guide us in all that we do. Parents Helping Parents offers a robust menu of services and programs: 1:1 guidance, webinars, and online learning on special education, public benefits, assistive technology, and more.
