Washington’s budget crunch threatens to end a decades-old lifeline for families of children with developmental disabilities—the Parent to Parent program. Since 1980, this vital network has connected new parents with experienced caregivers across all 39 counties, offering emotional support, practical guidance, and critical access to therapies and services. Now, with its contract expiring in August and being targeted for cuts amid fiscal austerity, advocates warn its loss would leave families isolated and struggling. While state officials say no final decisions are made, the lack of public input has sparked outrage. Without this community-based support, families face harder, costlier paths forward—highlighting the painful trade-off between budget discipline and the irreplaceable human services that hold families together.
