Mission Viejo Weekly Mental Health Support Available For Parents In Crisis

Press release from the City of Mission Viejo:

February 25, 2021

With the pandemic causing challenges for families and school-age children faced with social isolation and depression, the City of Mission Viejo is partnering with Parent to Parent Strategies to offer support and resources for parents through a program called “Because I Love You.”

Because I Love You (BILY) is a free parent support group offering guidance and suggestions for solving problems with children of any age (adult or youth). BILY meetings are a safe, confidential place for parents to receive help with family crises. Parents meet weekly in small virtual groups, which provide the tools needed to regain control of their home, establish family structure and find the strength to develop new, cooperative family relationships.

Whether parents are struggling with an adult or younger child headed in the wrong direction; dealing with mental health issues; or drug and alcohol abuse, learning to implement the BILY principles can help parents navigate their way through any challenge.

Zoom meetings take place Monday and Tuesday nights from 6:30-8:30 pm. For Zoom links and to register, visit https://bilysc.org.
