Parent Support Network

No parent should feel alone in their journey.

CATCH’s Parent Support Network helps parents and caregivers find connection, practical resources, and a place to begin when their child is struggling with mental health or emotional-wellness challenges.

Choose the kind of support that feels right for you: join a small parent group, start with a one-on-one conversation, or explore professional support resources .

Join a small parent group for honest conversation and peer support.

CATCH’s Parents Connect groups bring caregivers together for honest conversation, shared understanding, and peer support from people who truly get it.

Groups are small, confidential, and facilitated by a fellow parent with lived experience, not a therapist. You don’t need to have the right words, just a willingness to show up.

Parents Connect Explained

Who

Parents Connect groups are small, confidential groups of four to six parents and caregivers with a shared experience, such as a child’s age or a specific mental health challenge.

Why

Groups offer a judgment-free place to talk honestly, feel less alone, and hear practical perspectives from others parenting through a difficult or isolating time.

How

Groups are facilitated by a fellow parent with lived experience. Parents Connect is peer support, not therapy or clinical advice.

When

Groups meet weekly for one hour on Zoom. Current availability varies by group.

Current groups include:

  • Kids ages 6–13
  • Teens ages 12–18
  • Adult children ages 18+

Start with One Person

Sometimes the first step is talking with someone who understands. CATCH Conversations connects parents and caregivers with a CATCH volunteer who can listen, offer understanding, and help you consider available CATCH resources and support options.

This is peer connection, not therapy or clinical advice.

Find Professional Support

CATCH shares informational provider lists and crisis/help-line resources for families looking for additional support.

These resources can help you begin exploring options, but they are not clinical referrals or endorsements.

Finding support is an important first step, but it’s what we do next that can make a real difference. Explore CATCH’s Resource Hub for practical tools, trusted information, expert guidance, and real-life perspectives to help support children, teens, and families.
