Parent Partners

What is a Parent Partner?

A Parent Partner is a certified peer support specialist who has raised a child with a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder.


They understand frustration, being blamed, losing hope, losing patience and all the challenges that go with raising children with mental health needs.

Every child deserves a loving parent and every parent deserves a helping hand.
