TxP2P Advocacy Network Training & Weekly Conference Calls

TxP2P Advocacy Network provides group and one-on-one training on advocating for children and adults with disabilities, chronic and mental health conditions and other health care needs. The parents, professionals, or other interested parties come to us with an issue they want to change. Our Policy Specialists lead them through determining who they need to approach on the issue, learn how to make the contacts, write talking points, build a coalition to support them, and begin to advocate for their issue. Learn more about TxP2P Advocacy Network.

Our weekly Advocacy Calls are Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. CST (6:30 p.m. in El Paso). The phone number is (866) 249-1544 and pass code is 8127325.

Medical Education Program (MEd.)

TxP2P provides a medical residency educational opportunity for Pediatric and Family Practice Residents and other medical professionals to learn more about the global effects of having a child with a disability, chronic or mental illness, or other special health care need in a family. To provide a glimpse of family life, a diverse group of trained Family Faculty invite residents into their lives to experience first-hand how they meet the challenge of raising a child with special health care needs. Simultaneously, our volunteer families learn more about how doctors and other professionals develop early in their careers. Through this opportunity, TxP2P hopes to foster communication skills that create collaboration and mutual respect between patients, families, doctors, and other treating professionals as well as improve care for all children with special health care needs.
