Common Bond Support Group
This is a virtual support group that will meet the third Thursday every month.
Whether you’re having a rough day at home or a stressful day at the office, having healthy coping skills can be key to getting through tough times. Coping skills help you tolerate, minimize, and deal with stressful situations in life. Having a child with a mental health condition can be a challenge, but there are ways to help make things easier. Begin by joining the Common Bond Support Group and meet other parents and caregivers of young people with mental health issues such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, mood disorder, and other mental health issues. Know that you are not alone as we share this common bond. Visit https://mcf.family/common-bond to Register
