Parents need YOU in their village. Raising a child who struggles with their mental health is a lonely journey.

Join the Village today to show parents across the state that you are here for them.

1 in 6 children struggles with their mental health. When a child is struggling, it is up to their parents to help their child manage, and ultimately, thrive. However, in the state of Pennsylvania, finding resources is a challenge.

 

By becoming a monthly donor and joining the Village today, you can make sure parents across PA know where to go to get their child the mental health support they need. You can be the immediate difference in helping a child thrive.

Our Village of monthly donors show up for parents every single day, at a meaningful amount that works for YOU.

 

When they are overwhelmed - you're there. 

When they don't know what to do next - you're there. 

When they need to vent in a safe place - you're there. 

By becoming a part of the Village today you are giving Pennsylvania parents the tools they need to help their children thrive. 

Your donation is secure.
