“Hearing from participants that they’ve experienced positive changes in their lives because of tools they’ve learned in the support group is what keeps me so excited to volunteer.”
“I love seeing participants return week after week and build community—it’s a reminder that these spaces truly make a difference.”
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.
We are thrilled to see the Parent Stress Line featured in the USA TODAY NETWORK - Wisconsin article by Madison Lammert and Amy Schwabe. This recognition highlights the importance of accessible mental health resources for parents and families.
