CATCH Presents: Parenting is Hard. You Don't Have to Do it Alone
Parenting a child with mental health challenges can feel overwhelming. CATCH’s Parents Connect brings you together with other parents who understand, in small, confidential groups led by parents with lived experience (not therapists). Meet weekly on Zoom. Share experiences, find strategies, and feel less alone in a confidential and judgment-free space. We offer groups by your child's age or by mental illness focus. You can join at any time.
