Support & Training

West Virginia Parent Training and Information (WVPTI) offers extensive workshops and training sessions tailored to empower and engage parents, caregivers, youth with disabilities, and professionals. These sessions, available virtually and in person, typically last between 1.0 to 2.0 hours, providing ample time for meaningful discussion, questions, and follow-up. This ensures that participants receive the comprehensive support they need to address
challenges.

Key stakeholders, organizations, and parent groups regularly seek our expertise and invite us to provide training. One of the greatest benefits of joining groups like Parent Strong is the
opportunity for parents to connect with other families and navigate similar experiences. These connections foster a strong sense of community, shared learning, and mutual encouragement.

We encourage you to explore the opportunity to attend one of our upcoming training sessions or Parent Strong support meetings. Participating will give you valuable resources and strategies to support your child’s development and educational success. We look forward to partnering with you on this critical journey.

How Do The Meetings Help?

Support groups offer a safe and understanding space for parents and caregivers to connect, share experiences, and find encouragement. Taking time for yourself and engaging with other parents facing similar challenges is not just beneficial, it’s essential.

We invite you to join us and experience the strength of a supportive community.
