This fall, BYS is offering new peer support groups for parents of all school-age children.

WHY A PEER SUPPORT GROUP? 

Parent Peer Support groups are designed to bring parents of children at similar ages and developmental stages together to discuss the challenging and rewarding work of parenting.

WHO ARE THEY FOR?

BYS Parent Peer Support Groups are inclusive of parents of all children grades K-12. These groups will be divided according to the grades of the children.

WHAT WILL PARENTS GET OUT OF IT? 

This program will focus on parent well-being, creating connections, developing an understanding of personal parenting values, giving access to supportive resources, and offering parenting techniques and strategies.

DETAILS:

The fall session is 8 weeks, beginning the week of September 18, running through the week of November 6. All groups will be facilitated by a BYS licensed therapist and will meet at the BYS office once a week, from 6:30pm-8pm.

Please note: Groups are capped at a certain number of participants in an effort to ensure the best possible experience for everyone involved. Therefor, parents with children who fall into multiple age ranges must choose only one group to participate in. Thank you!

We invite you to register today for a Parent Peer Support Group that best fits your child’s development:

Sign Ups for Fall Parent Peer Support Groups are now closed.

Here’s what one parent had to say about their experience in a previous peer support group:
“The facilitator was incredible. Their grounded, calm, thoughtful, and caring demeanor was the positive energy that I needed in order to slow down, take in new information, breathe, and feel confident enough to share out loud…The information/topics were exactly what I needed. The information was never overwhelming. Instead, it was easy to digest and apply to my situation. The links provided to dive further into topics were greatly appreciated. I cannot say enough positive things about this peer group.”
