Montana Parent Partners  

What is a Parent Partner? 

A Parent Partner is a parent of a child with special healthcare needs who is personally experienced and professionally trained to help you navigate your child’s medical and non-medical care. Parent Partners journey with the family toward hope and best possible outcomes to help ensure all children have opportunities to reach their full potential.
