From our Founder:

Some Exciting News!

 

Family Sanity is growing! Our long-time partners at Willows in the Wind are joining us under our Family Sanity umbrella. Willows Founder and Executive Director Jan Rao is retiring.  She created this important parent support organization 17 years ago.

 

Family Sanity now has three monthly meetings. One will remain focused on young adults and two will help parents of teens.  We will continue to offer the services of certified parent coach Sarah MacKay Lynch.

 

Meetings for all three groups will be Free for the month of January.  So if you haven’t attended one of our meetings yet, but are on the edge of trying one, now is the time to sign up.  Meeting dates and schedules are  posted in the column to the left. 

 

Look forward to seeing you at a meeting,

Next Chapter Book Club
with Parent Coach Sarah MacKay Lynch

There are so many good books out there on parenting and mental health. But how do you really absorb them? The Next Chapter Book Club is designed to help you get the most out of your reading experience. You'll receive a summary of weekly reading and have a chance to discuss the book with other parents whose kids have similar mental health issues. 

​

IInterested? Visit sarahmackaycoaching.com to learn more about the book club. It will meet regularly on Zoom in 2025.
