Real Experiences.
Changes Parent Support Network is a structured, peer-led program that provides support to parents struggling with children who are engaging in oppositional and self-destructive behaviors. Changes offers hope, help, support and relief from feeling overwhelmed and alone. We give back freely to the community in recognition and thanks to those that walked this path before us and helped us. We are a registered 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.

What Folks Are Saying
"Being part of this community has given me so many tools and so much support the past 2 + years. I don't know that I could have survived as a parent without it."

mother of acting-out adult daughters“Our son was using drugs, drug dealing and failing school. The group helped me by confronting me about the ways in which I was enabling our son to continue his destructive behavior and they suggested changes I needed to make.”
Changes Alumnus
Father of 15 year-old son“At the height of my son’s drug abuse and violence, it was becoming clear that one of us would be dead and the other would be in prison. The only question was: who was who?...CHANGES helped me change my behavior in order to help my son.”
