How do I sign up?
Fill out the Parents Together Application, and our Client Care Coordinator will reach out for a brief phone screening and registration.
What's the commitment?
In order for the group to make an impact, participants register for three sessions at a time. Parents Together meets (almost) monthly, usually in the 3rd week of the month. We recommend attending consecutive sessions, but you can attend any three sessions within a year of your registration.
What happens after my third session?
You're welcome to register for another three sessions!
How much does Parents Together cost?
We don't want cost to be a barrier to getting the support you need, so the cost of Parents Together is "pay what you can." The suggested fee is $25/session; the minimum is $5/session. Payment is collected for three sessions at your pay-what-you-can rate.
Participants may receive reimbursement through their insurance.
How do I get the meeting link?
We'll send you an RSVP link about 10 days before the meetings. We'll send a couple of reminder messages, too! If you've RSVP'd yes, you'll get a link shortly before the meeting starts.
I have more questions - who can I talk to?
Please reach out to our Client Care Coordinator!
