Request for a Parent Mentor

Parent to Parent of Southwest Michigan offers information, experience, hope and friendship to parents, grandparents and caregivers of children with special needs through a connection to our Parent Mentors. Since the families in our network have had direct experiences with children having a wide range of abilities, they truly know what it is like to meet a child's unique needs.

At Parent to Parent of SW MI parents find a valuable resource in other parents who are traveling a similar road, and are willing to share information based on real life experiences. The heart of Parent to Parent of Southwest Michigan is our Parent Mentor Program. A referred parent, who has a child with a disability or medical condition, is connected to a Parent Mentor for support and information.

If you are a parent with a newly diagnosed child and you have questions or are searching for resources, a parent with school or medical concerns, a parent with a new and challenging situation, or even a parent who has been connected to Parent to Parent of Southwest Michigan previously, we hope you will contact us so we can put you in touch with a Parent Mentor who has experienced the joys and challenges of raising a child with a special need.
