Parents Meeting the Challenge

Parents Meeting the Challenge (PMC) is an 8 session educational program that provides parents and primary caregivers the opportunity to learn, share and connect with others who face similar challenges in caring for children/adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders. This program provides tools, strategies and information to help parents and caregivers meet the challenges of parenting/taking care of a child with emotional and behavioral disorders, to navigate the system and advocate for their child’s mental health needs. See course dates and register online below.

Volunteer parents, who bring both knowledge and personal experience, have been trained and certified by NAMI NH to teach Parents Meeting the Challenge. Participants receive a copy of the Guidebook for Caregivers of Children and Adolescents with Serious Emotional Disorders and an educational packet that includes science-based information and current publications on children/adolescent emotional and behavioral disorders.

“It provided me with HOPE and new ways to meet my child’s needs.”
