Program For Early Parent Support

To meet unique needs of parents and partner with existing parent-serving organizations, peps offers the peps network, through which it provides the peps model of parent peer-support groups to parent communities served by partner organizations. Peps provides training, initial and on-going consulting to peps network partners. In 2024 peps helped eleven network partners serve an additional 882 parents in 114 groups. Additionally, peps has local partnerships with community-based organizations that bring parent peer support to communities that peps has not served. Peps strives to build meaningful relationships that meet the unique needs of the organizations and parents involved. Peps invests resources and staff to train team members of partner organizations on the peps model, curriculum and evaluations, and receives critical feedback on adaptations and adjustments that help the groups better meet the needs of parents.
