✨ No Wait List for 1:1 Family Peer Support Services ✨

GEAR Parent Network is currently able to connect families to 1:1 Family Peer Support with no wait list.

If you are a parent or caregiver of a child with emotional, behavioral, or mental health needs, you don’t have to wait to be supported.

Our Family Peer Support Specialists are parents with lived experience who:

• Listen without judgment
• Offer emotional support and encouragement
• Help navigate systems and services
• Walk alongside you, parent to parent

Support is available now — because families deserve timely connection and care.

Please share with families who may benefit.

📞 Call 1-800-264-9224 or go to www.gearparentnetwork.org
