Caring for a child who needs extra support can be rewarding — and exhausting. Research shows caregivers face higher, more persistent rates of depression than other parents.

Connecting with others who get it can make a real difference. That’s why we offer free peer support groups on the last Monday of the month.

Help build a lifeline between parents with your gift during Mental Health Awareness Month: connectingforkids.org/MHAM
