How does it work?

You Have A Village is an anonymous, online parent support group that is facilitated and moderated by child behavior mental health professionals. Parents receive support, resources, and guidance at their convenience in a safe online community setting.  Parents also can attend weekly group meetings via Zoom to discuss specific topics such as helping your child manage their big emotions and parent self care.  Weekly meetings are facilitated by child behavior professionals and attended by other parents looking for support around each specific topic. 

Why will it help parents?

In the YHAV community parents receive resources, classes, and support groups moderated by parent child behavior coaches. Parents can also learn from one another (while remaining anonymous) about how they are managing their children's behavioral health needs.

How do I know that I will be paired with the "right group?"

After meeting with one of our team members in your initial consultation, we will work hard to ensure you have a meaningful experience with a group that you can connect with. You are never locked into a group, so if you feel something is not a good fit please reach out to YHAV and we will work with you to find a solution that best suits your needs!  You may participate in as many groups as you would like!

Will I know if the other members have a child the same age, gender, diagnosis, etc. as mine?

Information about other members will be at his/her discretion to share. YHAV will protect the privacy of each of our members and allow everyone to share information they are comfortable with at their own comfort level.

Does my child need to have a diagnosis to join?

No, YHAV is open to all parents!

Does my child join the group too?

Groups are intended for parents only to support each other through the difficulties of parenting. However, it is possible we will have groups for both parents and children in the future!

What if the group times do not work for me?

Please reach out to the YHAV team if you can not find a group time that works for you. We will do everything possible to work with you and ensure you have a meaningful experience.

How does the 1:1 consultation work?

You and a YHAV team member will connect via audio only format to discuss what you are hoping to receive through a membership with YHAV.
