PA Parent & Family Alliance:
- PA Parent & Family Alliance provides free, statewide support to parents and caregivers whose children (or young adults) are dealing with mental-health, emotional, behavioral, learning or social challenges.
- Their services include one-on-one support via a Family Support Partner (FSP) — a trained parent/caregiver with lived experience who listens, offers guidance, helps navigate services (mental-health, school systems, social services, etc.), and supports families through challenges.
- They run weekly virtual support groups / check-ins where parents and caregivers can connect with others in similar situations — for peer support, sharing experiences, coping, and mutual encouragement.
- They maintain a large library of educational resources, tip sheets, webinars, guides, podcasts and more — covering mental health, school issues (IEPs, truancy, special education), behavioral health, substance use, and family well-being.
- Importantly — their services are not therapy or counseling; rather, they offer peer-based support, resource navigation, advocacy help, and community / parent-to-parent connection.
