Parenting Mental Health began 6 years ago on 26th September, starting as a Facebook group by our founder Suzanne, her intent that you shouldnt have to experience the unique, challenging, sometimes uplifting, often heart-breaking journey of parenting a child with a mental health issue, alone.
In the first year? A few hundred people joined the group, within 3 years it was 6,000 members and today in 6 years, 30,000 parents! A Facebook community has grown into a charity that offers a wide range of services, with a mission to improve the experience of parenting a child with a mental health issue, focusing on skills and support.
Were still a small organisation, we rely heavily on volunteers, so every penny goes towards doing good. And with ambition to help 1 million parents we really do intend to be the change we want to see in the world.
