The Mental Health Association of Westchester’s Partners in Parenting program celebrated its 30th anniversary this spring, marking three decades of person-centered support for parents with mental health issues. Providing therapy in home or community settings, the program promotes behavioral health within an individual’s natural environment.
Last year, Partners in Parenting provided more than 769 individual sessions, helping parents learn strategies to effectively manage and reduce their symptoms. In additional to improving their parenting, decreasing hospitalizations and maintaining custody of their children, parents are able to enhance their problem-solving and decision-making skills while working on employment and educational goals and developing healthy social support networks.
