Initiative
Parents as Collaborative Leaders
The Whole Child Health Section in the Division of Child and Family Well-being has assembled a group of parent leaders and trained them to facilitate the nationally recognized, research-based curriculum, “Parents as Collaborative Leaders.” These parents are passionate about teaching others who have children with a variety of special health care needs and/or developmental concerns to become effective leaders in their communities, at the state and national level. The trainings have been used to support parents in being more active and confident at the table in a variety of educational, medical, and community settings. The trainings are offered at no cost, as a series, or as a choice of select modules according to group needs, and are available in English and Spanish.
