Story

I am running the LLHM in April to help raise money for
Parenting Mental Health, which is a fantastic charity that has been of great support to me over the past year.  

Having a child with mental health problems can be both lonely and very isolating, but the PMH community has been there for me 24/7.  The support I have found via the online community, listening circles and friendships I have made through the charity, has been amazing.  Just being able to connect with other parents/ grandparents & carers experiencing similar challenges has been invaluable, and has without doubt given me the confidence to navigate my way through the ups and downs.

It was by chance Suzanne’s book was recommended to me, but
it changed everything.

Thankyou Suzanne and PMH, for everything xx

Parenting Mental Health began with a Facebook group in September 2016, by Suzanne Alderson after her daughter was suicidal at the age of 14. Once Suzanne's daughter was on the road to recovery, her mission was with a goal to connect and support parents. Since then it has grown to support parents around the world across its digital channels and programs. Parenting Mental Health now empowers, educates, and supports tens of thousands of parents to successfully navigate each stage of their child's mental illness, and to become stronger and more resilient families. Parenting Mental Health became a Charity in February 2020. The aim to fundraise and provide financial support for PMH to be able to deliver training, resources, interventions, counsellors and education to parents for FREE.That is why we need your support!Your donation will allow PMH to continue to provide services which bring hope and connection to parents and carers supporting their child throughout poor mental health.
