Parent2Parent Support Group
Joining a support group is a wonderful way to practice self-care. A support group can be a source of information as well as a safe place to share your experience with other people who are in similar circumstances.
Here are 5 reasons to join Advance LA’s Parent2Parent (P2P) Support Group:
- It’s Nice To Have Your Very Own Focus Group
The other parents in P2P can be a sounding board for you to talk through a decision that may be worrying you. Other parents can provide input and help you problem solve.
- Being With People Who Understand Without Having To Explain
Connecting with other parents of adult children can be a source of support. It feels good to talk and share with people who “get it” without you having to explain everything.
- Do You Know Anything About…..?
We are all always looking for good doctors, therapists, recreational ideas, and volunteer opportunities. A support group is a great place to ask about other people’s experiences with various professionals, organizations, and activities.
- You Have Valuable Insight For Others
You have valuable experiences that are helpful to someone else. When you share your story, you give support, encouragement, and helpful tips to others.
- You Like To Play Mahjong Too?!!
When you get to know the members of your group, you may find out that you have common interests outside of your parenting experience. Come join P2P and make a new friend!
Please join us for our Parent 2 Parent Support Group on October 26 at 5pm. Our on-going P2P (Parent to Parent) group is a free, monthly meet-up for parents and caregivers facing the challenges of helping their young adult transition to greater independence.
And have your young adult attend club l.a.’s Halloween Party while you are attending the P2P support group. It’s a win-win!
