    Parent2Parent
    We are a nationwide not-for-profit organisation formed in 1983 by parents and professionals to support the families of babies, children, teens and adults with any type of disability or health impairment. Parent to Parent operates the only parent support network for families raising a child with a disability in New Zealand.

    Parent to Parent operates a network of more than 600 specially-trained volunteer support parents, and connects those parents to families new to the world of disability. Each family is connected to a support parent whose child has the same or similar disability to yours.

    Support Parents are there to offer a listening ear. With their ‘lived experience’, they understand the challenges and unique joy of caring for a child or family member in a similar situation to yours, and can offer practical solutions.
