Join a CATCH Parents Connect Group This Fall

Parenting a child on a mental health journey can feel isolating. CATCH’s Parents Connect groups bring parents together for honest conversation and support from people who get it in small, confidential groups led by parents with lived experience (not therapists). Meet weekly on Zoom. Find support, share stories, and feel less alone in a judgment-free space. We offer groups by your child's age or by focus area. You can join at any time. Groups are ongoing.

Beyond the Pressure | Youth, Success & Well-Being

Join CATCH for a screening of the documentary film Try Harder! and an honest community conversation about the pressures facing young people, from academics and athletics to packed schedules, competition, and the constant push toward what comes next. Dr. Lisa Novak will facilitate the conversation and together we'll explore how adults can support young people while creating healthier definitions of success.
