Resources, Sponsored by another organization. 4 October 2011 @ 1:55 pm.
The Parent to Parent program of the Ollie Webb Center is in the process of recruiting parents
of children with special needs to become supporting parents (mentors) for new families.
As the mother or father of a child with developmental disabilities, you have unique parenting experiences. Through time, training, and trial and error, you have gained valuable skills. Use your knowledge to help another parent on the journey by becoming a mentor. Parent to Parent (P2P) programs link parents of children, adolescents and adults with developmental disabilities with experienced and informed veteran parents who understand the day-to-day experiences of raising a child with special needs. Parent to Parent Omaha is offered by Ollie Webb Center, Inc., a local nonprofit agency.

The goal of this presentation is to provide parents with basic information about the changes that puberty and adolescence bring to every child – including their son or daughter. The information is intended to help participants feel more comfortable and confident as they help their youth safely navigate this important transition from childhood to adulthood. The ultimate aim is to promote the independence, personal safety, healthy lifestyles, healthy relationships, and social inclusion of their youth with disabilities. While other people may help, parents and families have the primary responsibility for conveying this information.
