iParent2Parent Peer Support Program for Parents of Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
Sponsor: The Hospital for Sick Children
Summary
The iParent2Parent (iP2P) program is a new, innovative virtual mentorship program that will connect parents one-to-one with other parents of pediatric kidney transplant recipients who are trained to offer vital peer support and mentorship. Parents of children who received a kidney transplant at The Hospital for Sick Children will be invited to participate as mentors and mentees. The iP2P program can decrease feelings of isolation, improve mental health and have a long-term positive impact on patient health. This research will increase our understanding of one-to-one peer support and leverage eHealth technologies to improve the access to and acceptability of parent peer support interventions.
