This is a safe space
How our support groups work
When parents join a support group they will see the faces of other parents like them on the screen. Not only will they hear their story in others’ stories, share the experience of finding help in community and hope in connection, but they will also get their own mentor to guide the way, an amazing service that comes with membership!
1
Daily Support Groups
Members gain access to unlimited support groups from 7:00 am to 10:30 pm.

A Safe Space
Choose your privacy settings. Be as anonymous as you want with your name, sharing and camera options.

Parents Helping Parents
Two Peer Parents facilitate each support group to guide, monitor and ensure a safe space. Opening with their own personal shares, so members to feel comfortable and connected. Meet our Peer Parents.
4
A Sharing Community
Each support group centers on a topic to guide the conversation. Common topics include:
• communication
• boundaries
• self-care
• vulnerability
• gratitude
This is a place to talk about how you’re feeling, how the topic resonated with you or to share something that is on your mind.
Use the chat to feel connected, post questions, inspirations, thoughts or encouragement.

Parent Mentorship
Meet your mentor who will connect you to our amazing community and steer you to the resources and benefits you need. We all know that overwhelming feeling while going through a crisis but you are NOT alone! Learn more.

Flexibility on Time
We close 5 minutes before the hour, enabling members to leave as needed. A sense of community is created as all members read an inspirational message together, out loud.
Advice is never given
