Areas We Can Help

Foward Together. Your Strength, Your Story 

That is the premise of peer support. We aren’t clinicians or therapists. We are parents with experience supporting our family and extending that support to others in need.

Educational Supports

Learn how to navigate child-serving systems, where to find support, the importance of IEPs or 504s, and how to take the lead in your child's educational journey. 

Working Towards
Recovery

A person’s recovery is built on his or her strengths, talents, coping abilities, resources, and inherent values. We have worked towards recovery with our kids and families, and we support others to do the same.
