About PA Parent and Family Alliance

Mental health challenges in children are more common than you might expect. In fact, 1 in 6 children ages 6-17 experiences a mental health challenge. When a child is struggling, it is up to their parents to help their child manage, and ultimately, thrive. However, in the state of Pennsylvania, finding resources is a challenge in itself. Places that parents normally turn to for information—schools, hospitals, and social services—can often be difficult to navigate and involve long wait times. Moreover, they often don’t understand what parents are experiencing in their quest to support their child throughout their lifespan. At the PA Parent and Family Alliance, we do. We’ve designed one-of-a-kind, no-cost resources for parents whose children are experiencing mental health challenges because we believe that parents are the best advocates for their children. And, to be your child’s best advocate, you need tools, resources, and guidance. That’s where we come in. We support parents in three ways: 1. 1:1 Support from a Family Support Partner. This unique resource pairs parents with Family Support Partners—professional resource navigators who share the lived experience of navigating their child’s mental health challenge. Family Support Partners provide intensive, 1:1 support to parents to work through their toughest challenges, for as long as they need it, free of charge. 2. Support Groups. We host weekly online support groups where parents can connect to share their experiences and advice with one another. 3. Information and Resources. We develop fact sheets, articles, webinars, and trainings to equip parents with the knowledge they need to navigate their child’s mental health challenge.
