Parents' Lifelines of Eastern Ontario Family Mental Health Support Association

Pleo - parents' lifeline is an incorporated non-profit family peer support organization for parents whose children to age 25 are facing mental health challenges. We are staffed with parents who have supported their own children with these challenges - we have travelled the journey. Our proven model of family peer support is unique within ontario. Our integrated services includes a parent's helpline providing support and guidance in navigating a fragmented mental health systems; facilitated parent support groups where families can share information and learn from one another; and more intensive on-on-one family peer support. In addition to working directly with families we champion positive change to create a more effective family-focused approach to mental health care. Through collaboration with service providers and key stakeholders we ensure that the real needs of the thousands of families we support are understood.
