K12 Parent Support Partner Program

GHS works with several schools to provide a Parent Support Program.

What is a Parent Support Partner?

A Parent Support Partner (PSP) is a parent of a child with emotional, behavioral, or other mental health challenges and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities, including Autism. A PSP brings personal experience and knowledge of raising a child with these challenges. They empower families and give them much-needed hope. A PSP is a treatment team member included in service planning and implementation.

Possible areas of support:

• Listen and share experiences.
  • Sounding board for ideas or concerns
  • Role model
  • Source of hope to know you're not alone
• Attend meetings.
  • Schools
  • Government
  • Genesee Health System
  • Family Court
• Provide resources.
  • Training and education
  • Community resources
