Parent Resources

Utah Parent Center

The mission of the Utah Parent Center (UPC or Center) is to help parents help their children, youth and young adults with all disabilities to live included, productive lives as members of the community.  We accomplish our mission by providing accurate information, empathetic peer support, valuable training and effective advocacy based on the concept of parents helping parents (the term parent is broadly defined to include anyone serving in that role).

For more information, contact Michelle Murphy (435) 646-4190.
