Parents Helping Parents (PHP) is closely monitoring the coronavirus outbreak. Based on the latest guidance from the County of Santa Clara Public Health Office, and for the health and safety of all of our families, PHP has decided to cancel, effective immediately until further notice, the following:

  • ALL in-person visits to our San Jose and Gilroy offices, including both parent meetings and outside meetings;
  • ALL in-person workshops and training opportunities, both those being held at PHP offices and those being held off-site; MANY WILL BE HELD ONLINE
  • ALL support groups being held at PHP offices; MANY WILL BE HELD ONLINE

Many of the families we are privileged to serve have medically fragile children, and PHP is committed to doing its part to protect our community. We regret the impact this will have on PHP families. Some meetings MAY be hosted online; stay-tuned to all PHP communications for the most up-to-date information.

PHP staff will continue to be available to families in several ways, including:

  • Phone: Call us at 408-727-5775, Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm;
  • E-Learning Library: Visit our website, www.php.com 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for more than 200 videos in five languages; and,
  • Email: Email us with your questions or concerns at info@php.com.

We will continue to monitor the coronavirus situation closely. Please watch your email, PHP social media accounts, and the PHP website for updates with the latest information on the status of PHP programs and services. For additional information on public health recommendations, please visit the County of Santa Clara Public Health Office.


We provide the venue, the people, a social notebook, and an opportunity to connect!

Parents and supporters come but do not actively participate; we recruit volunteers to support participants and to facilitate interaction. If your participant is only able to be at ease with you at their side, we welcome you to join the table as well!

We do expect parents and supporters to monitor the participant's safety should they need that level of support.

The BFF Project events are not single-topic event or opportunity. There may be a card game happening, video game reviews, and other things occurring all at the same time! It is all based on the interests of all the people participating. This is a judgment-free and stigma-free environment. Participants have the opportunity to grow in their relationships and find companionship with others that share their interests.

Our person-centered approach means that you or the individual you support will be alongside peers sharing and talking about their interests with each other.

At the event parents/caregivers stay on site, in the same room but at separate tables, Offering reassurance to the participants in this new setting. If your participant needs you at their table for a bit to get comfortable, that's okay too.

Have your child/client bring items to share that speak to their interests.

Many of the participants are quiet and observant during their first event, followed by a great desire to participate.

The majority of individuals attending need no support to participate. They should be ready to make connections with others who share their interests. We have had people attend that have autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabiliteis and those with head injuries. 

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR EACH EVENT MAXIMUM ATTENDANCE IS 20 PARTICIPANTS

If your son or daughter has mental health support needs, we recommend NAMI of Santa Clara County or the  county in which you live.https://namisantaclara.org/
