Texas Parent to Parent provides support, information, and education for families of children and adults with disabilities, chronic and mental health conditions and other health care needs.

"Having a child with special health care needs is a life-altering experience... but with the support of another parent we begin to see through the cracks and find joy in places we never could have imagined. Our journey continues, but this time we feel we will survive because we know another parent who has."

Texas Parent to Parent has been working remotely since March 17 in order to make sure our staff and their families can stay healthy due to the pandemic crisis we find ourselves in. However, we are still working - our phone messages are being forwarded to us and we are still getting our emails. To contact the Family Support Program, dial 737-484-9044; for Pathways to Adulthood Program, dial 737-484-9045. If you don't know who to contact, just send an email to info@txp2p.org and we'll get back to as quickly as we can.

Peer support is very popular these days but parent-to-parent programs have been using peer support since the 1970's. Sharing experiences with other parents is the key to what Texas Parent to Parent (TxP2P) does and has been proven to help families. Our services and programs are all family-centered in order to provide support, information, and education to as many families as we can.

The Texas Parent to Parent staff are parents of children with disabilities, chronic illness, or special health care needs. We have also spoken to thousands of families over the years. We are here to help - give us a call at 866-896-6001 or 512-458-8600.

Program Spotlight

TxP2P Care Notebook - A Care Notebook is an organizing tool that is particularly useful for parents. Use it to keep track of important information about your child's health care, education, or transition.

Medical Home Toolkit- A medical home is not a building, house, hospital, or home healthcare service, but rather a family-centered approach to providing comprehensive primary care. The Medical Home Toolkit explains what a medical home is and how to get one.

TxP2P is funded by Texas Department of State Health Services' Children with Special Health Care Needs Program Contract, Federal Maternal Child Health Bureau Family to Family Health Information Center Grant, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, and private grants and donations.

Please check out these two websites

TxP2P helped with both of these sites, and we feel they can be very helpful to a new parent or a parent new to an issue around their child. We especially recommend looking at the videos:
