HOPE - Helping Other Parents Everywhere
We are a volunteer-run network of peer support groups for parents and guardians who share similar struggles, experiences, and concerns related to their adolescent or young adult children. Since 2008, we have served over 1,200 parents.
HOPE is always here when you need us. Our support groups meet weekly, year-round and membership is on a rolling basis. Parents who join also enjoy access to the Members Area of our website, where they will find tools to help them navigate community services and resources according to their needs.
