Parent/Caregiver Advocacy

Who we are

Parents and caregivers play a critical role in supporting children’s and youth’s health and well-being. And yet, they often face immense challenges in navigating California’s mental health system and accessing quality treatment and supports for kids in their care.

To address these challenges, United Parents and its partners launched Parents and Caregivers for Wellness—a collaborative project to strengthen the voice of parents and caregivers and improve services and supports for families.

What we do

Parents and Caregivers for Wellness provides a variety of activities to parents and caregivers, as well as to those who provide supports and services to them and their children. Activities include:



• Community engagement and education campaigns
• Training for parents and caregivers and those who support them
• Local and statewide advocacy

Join us

We believe that parents and caregivers of children and youth with mental health conditions are the best resource we have to identify strengths and needs of California’s families.
