Abstract

Offering referral to peer support services is compatible with pediatric subspecialty care. Educating physicians about available resources, assigning responsibility, providing staff time for referring families, and incorporating parent mentors into subspecialty practices can increase access. Future studies of families' referral experiences are needed.
