Overview
Parenting can be difficult under the best of circumstances. However, when your child is dealing with emotional, behavioral, or mental health concerns, parenting can feel isolating and overwhelming. We want to assure you that you are not alone.
Our parent support groups, facilitated by our Certified Family & Peer Advocates, offer a safe and confidential space for parents and guardians to connect with others who understand what you are going through.
Our Approach
Parent groups are self-care. It is so important to have a support system—it gives hope and validates our feelings. Parent support groups provide an invaluable space for parents and caregivers to connect with others who share their experiences.
Our groups provide a supportive community that understands your unique challenges.
- Connect with other parents who understand your experiences
- Share your experiences and learn from others
- Gain new insights into your child’s mental health needs
- Develop more effective coping strategies for managing difficult behaviors
- Build a supportive community of fellow parents and caregivers
- Receive emotional support and encouragement
If you have questions, please talk to your child’s primary clinician.
