Massachusetts organization provides support for families of kids struggling with mental health

It’s an organization that has been teaching parents how to navigate the mental health system for more than three decades. It works by pairing them with parents who have similar lived experiences.

“PPAL is the only Massachusetts organization whose work focuses solely on the interests of families whose children have mental health needs,” the organization writes on their website.
