Summary

The iParent2Parent (iP2P) program is a new, innovative virtual mentorship program that will connect parents one-to-one with other parents of pediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients who are trained to offer vital peer support and mentorship. Parents of children who received a SOT at The Hospital for Sick Children will be invited to participate as mentors and mentees (randomized into the iP2P or control group). 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.
