Parents on The Lake: Special KIDS Special PARENTS

PTOL is a support group for parents and caregivers of children that live with brain disorders.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of a new support group here in Hopatcong.

Parents on The Lake: Special KIDS Special PARENTS is a support group for parents and caregivers of children that live with a brain disorder.  It was created and organized by parents for parents in April 2011.

It is our goal to help light your way on this sometimes difficult and unpredictable path.  Through the support and outreach of others in our community, we will find strength in numbers and in each other.

PTOL was founded to help parents come together to discuss their concerns, share their stories, joys and heartaches, to exchange their ideas and to share resources.

The goal of PTOL is to provide an environment of support, encouragement and open discussion on the special needs and concerns of parents/caregivers of children living with any brain disorder including but not limited to Anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar, OCD, ODD, CD and Autism.
