parent support group

Research shows that providing parents of teens who are coping with anxiety, depression and other mental health issues a forum to discuss and support one another leads to an increased sense of belonging and empowerment. Through the HPS Parent Support Group, parents have the opportunity to share their children's struggles and triumphs, support each other emotionally, and discuss topics such as local policies, funding, and medical and health services.

The Parent Support Group is a chance for parents to form new relationships, relieve feelings of isolation, reinforce positive parenting and coping behaviors, help focus frustration, use energy in productive ways, and share information and resources. 

Parents will also learn how to get involved with Hunterdon Prep activities and how to participate in fundraising opportunities to support student enrichment programs. The Parent Support Group generally meets on the first Tuesday evening of each month from 6:30-8:30 pm. Please check the School Calendar for specific dates and time.
