A decade of support. Five years a charity. Thousands helped.
It started with a simple mission: to stand with those in crisis. Ten years on, our promise remains unchanged. Help us keep our vital support services open and free for every parent who comes to us in crisis. What began as one parent’s desperate search for connection in the middle of the night has grown into a movement - one that holds tens of thousands of families through the most frightening and isolating moments of their child’s mental health crisis.
Five years ago, Parenting Mental Health became a registered charity. Today, over 47,000 parents and carers find safety, understanding, and dedicated and empathetic community care with us 365 days of the year.
Despite supporting nearly 50,000 parents and carers we receive no government funding or dedicated project funding to fuel our community. We are a small, mission-driven team, with incredible volunteer moderators, and an amazing community built on extraordinary mutual care.
For the past five years we have been there for thousands of parents. Will you donate today and ensure the support available to parents and carers is always free and there for anyone who need us.
It costs £67,000 a year to run this community:
- To keep it moderated, open, and rooted in empathy and understanding
- To deliver safeguarding, crisis escalation, and trauma-led care whenever and however you need support
- To care for the carers who look after our community 365 days a year
- To keep everyone safe and ensure we can be there for anyone who needs us
This isn’t just a five-year anniversary. It’s a moment to reflect — and to act.
To celebrate the courage it took PMH founder Suzanne Alderson to ask for help; the love it took to offer it to thousands more, and the power of a support community that never sleeps.
Now we need to ensure that the next parent — the one who lies awake in the dark, crying in the car, breaking under the weight of their child’s struggle — finds what you found.
Hope. Help. A safe space for the hardest parts of parenting.
Parenting Mental Health only exists because of people like you. Please donate, and together let’s make sure it continues for another five years – and beyond.
Thank you.
