Online Workshop Series

The Reality

When our child experiences a mental health crisis, and needs hospitalization or emergency care, it can leave our families feeling scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do next. Help for the Hard Times is here for those moments. This free, online workshop series was created by FamilySmart to support parents and caregivers who are coping with the aftermath of a crisis and is facilitated by a parent who has been there.

Who it’s for:

Parents and caregivers whose child or youth is or has been a patient in a psychiatric unit or had an Emergency Room visit due to their mental health and/or substance use challenges.

Topics include:

How to support a safety plan at home

How to take care of yourself and family after a crisis

How to find the resources you need
