YouthWell has announced the schedule for ParentConnect, its free weekly hybrid drop-in summer support groups for parents and caregivers. Participants can attend either in-person or virtually.

The groups provide essential support and skills for parents and caregivers of youth facing various mental health challenges.

ParentConnect is designed to empower parents and caregivers with the tools and knowledge they need to foster a nurturing and engaging home environment, YouthWell said.

ParentConnect is for parents of children, ages 12-25, who are struggling with mental health challenges. It offers a supportive environment where participants can learn skills to effectively and compassionately support their kids, set boundaries, support siblings, and manage their own self-care.

FamilyTools focuses on addressing the daily challenges of parenting, improving communication, and strengthening parent-child relationships. Participants will learn to recognize their strengths, handle parenting conflicts, and manage stress while prioritizing self-care.

FamilyTools+ is designed for parents of youth, ages 5-18, with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, Tourette syndrome, and other unique neurological needs.

The group addresses the day-to-day challenges of parenting neurodiverse youth, offers ideas for strengthening family connections, and prioritizes self-care and wellness. Participants will gain insights into emotional regulation, time management, and building relationships with teachers and schools.
