Parent to Parent is Georgia's Family to Family Health Information Center (F2F)

We are federally funded through the United States Department of Health and Human Services Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB).   The F2F is associated with the Family Opportunity Act of 2005.  

Who do F2Fs serve?

F2Fs serve families of children with special health care needs.

Who are children with special health care needs?

Those children who have or are at risk for chronic physical, developmental, behavioral or emotional conditions and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally.  Examples of such conditions include: Asthma, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Blindness, Loss of Hearing, Diabetes, Bipolar Disorder, Epilepsy, etc.

What do F2Fs do? F2Fs provide health information, training and support to families of children and youth with special health care needs, and the professionals that serve them.  We help families develop the skills necessary to cooperatively and effectively participate in planning and decision making in health-related issues.

Does Georgia's F2F charge for services?

No, Georgia's F2F services, and all Parent to Parent of Georgia services, are provided free of charge.
