Caregiver Support Network: For Caregivers of Children with Persistent Mental Health Challenges

Tuesdays, 4:30 pm - 6:00 pmFacilitated by: Marley Powden, LICSWShannon Porter

Connect with other caregivers with similar experiences to you. Caregivers who are raising a child with a mental health challenge can come together to validate each other’s experiences, share advice and connect. Caregivers who participate have children with different levels of mental health challenges, but some examples include children that have needed a higher level of care, have a large treatment team or have persistent mental health challenges.

“Supporting my child in the mental health system can feel so isolating, it is nice to connect with other caregivers who get it”.

This group is facilitated by Marley Powden, LICSW and Shannon Porter, our mental health coordinator.
