CBS Boston spoke with our board member Ally O’Connor about why this season is particularly challenging and how Parents Helping Parents provides critical support to parents and caregivers during this time.

Parents Helping Parents is proud to be recognized as a free, 24/7 resource for caregivers facing stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. This recent article highlights what many of the parents we support already know: today’s caregiving demands are heavier than ever, and they’re taking a toll on parent well-being. From balancing work and family responsibilities to managing concerns about children’s mental health, parents are under unprecedented pressure—and too often, they’re doing it alone.

That’s why PHP exists. We connect parents with real, judgment-free support from others who’ve been there. If this article resonates with you or someone you know, we invite you to reach out. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Stepping in to raise your grandchildren can feel overwhelming—but you are not alone. Discover the support, resources, and connections available to grandparent caregivers.
