Parent to Parent
Often raising a child with a disability is an experience that isn’t planned, and we know it can be a challenging journey. We can inform, educate, inspire and support you as you navigate your way through your family’s experience with disability. Our services are free and confidential.
Connecting parents
We connect new families with specially-trained volunteer support parents who have a family member with the same or similar disability to your child.
Supporting siblings
Living with a brother or sister who has a disability can be challenging. We run programmes to support siblings to thrive in their own, unique family environment.
Information service
Our dedicated research team provides free information to families, and those involved in a family's care, on nearly 4,000 conditions from the very rare to the more common.

Hosts-with-the-most needed!
This June, caring Kiwis across the country are 'sipping their support' for families raising kids with disabilities, and it's as easy as having a nice, hot cup of coffee or tea with friends.
