Helping Families Thrive
Flourishing Families responds to the growing need to support the parents of young adults living with a mental health condition. This online educational program is informed by our decades of experience supporting individuals with mental health conditions, as well as by the insights of parents. Addressing families’ concerns about their relationships and communication with their young adults is our chief priority. Together, we will build on your existing strengths and values to develop skills and supports to help your family prosper.
Flourishing Families was a much-needed reminder that I am not alone in this journey. And the emotions I carry daily of fear, worry, and despair are not unique to my experience in mothering an adult child with mental health challenges. I am grateful for being able to connect in this way and leave with strategies and hope.

Flourishing families really helped me develop better communication skills with my family member who has mental illness. It also helped me reset my expectations for her, which led to better communication. Also meeting other parents facing similar struggles makes you realize you aren't alone in the fight and you can learn from best practices.
