I am looking for a forum for support for families with kids with high levels of mental health needs. A place to vent/debrief after a crisis, commiserate about stresses, to discuss and learn about various treatment options, etc. Someplace non-judgmental, diverse or at least accepting of different styles and cultures.
Does anyone know of such a website? Or would anyone here be interested in co-founding something like that with me? Or could we perhaps just start such a thread here?
My high-needs kids are about grown and through the roughest stages, and I have some time to dedicate to this. And a friend who might be able to help. I don't know anything about web-site management, but I have a bit of experience (small bit!) with grant-writing and support group facilitating.
I know of much local need here, especially parents who can't easily get to an in-person support group, often because of the child's needs. I am sure there is need nationally, and internationally. At this point, I am just putting out feelers.
Does this already exist?
Do you agree there is a need?
Anyone interested in exploring this with me?
