GROUP THERAPY
Our group therapy for parents and guardians includes peer support so parents/gaurdians can confidentially learn, grow, and share from other parents experiencing similar family struggles due to the growing challenges of mental illness. Our group programs are designed to meet the current and pressing needs that parents are facing. i&i’s group programs equip our clients with skills, tools, knowledge and mutual aid so that each parent, guardian and caregiver is supported, and does not feel alone or isolated as they seek to parent well through the challenges of having a child, youth or young adult with mental health issues.
