HOPE offers support, information, and resources to parents and guardians throughout Ontario who are troubled by the behaviour of their adolescent or adult children. HOPE offers the following services to parents/caregivers through an annual membership: Peer Support Meetings Peer support meetings for parents/caregivers to address their parenting concerns. HOPE’s parent-to-parent peer support groups provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment where parents facing similar life events or parenting-related challenges can exchange mutual support and experiential knowledge. These weekly group meetings give parents a regular chance to connect, share practical ideas, learn new and effective parenting techniques, and strategize on ways forward. Phone and Other Support Between meetings, parents who attend regularly also have access to member-to-member phone support. When possible, members may be offered in-person moral support over a casual cup of coffee or at important parenting-related meetings and events (e.g. when their young person is in court). Handbook and Website HOPE also supports parents by equipping them with knowledge, tools, and resources including a parental guidebook and parents who join also have access to the Members Area of the website, where they will find a curated index of community resources, reference materials, and book recommendations. Workshops and Annual Conference In addition to peer support, HOPE periodically engages skilled volunteers and outside experts to conduct workshops and seminars.
