Explore our Webinar Library

Join us for this supportive conversation that explores how parents and caregivers can support their child’s mental health while also supporting their own mental health.

This session offers practical strategies for fostering communication, building trust, providing emotional support, and problem-solving collaboratively with your child, as well as helpful tips for taking care of your own mental health.

It also explores some of the challenges parents and caregivers often face when caring for a young person experiencing mental health or addiction challenges, and how connection and support can make a meaningful difference. Throughout the session, information is shared about the services and resources offered by Pleo and The Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) to support parents and caregivers.

This video podcast is hosted by Grant Hardy from The Pulse (Accessible Media Inc. – AMI) and co-facilitated by Catherine Shea, Family Peer Supporter at Pleo, and Amy Coupal, CEO of The Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO). It is offered in English.
