Where parents go when they don't know where to go.

We are the village.

Parents. Grandparents. Families.

A web of professionals surrounding & supporting families.



Thanks to the Village...

  • Families feel more supported & knowledgeable.
  • Families connect with & advocate for their t(w)eens more effectively.
  • And ultimately, we lose fewer kids to suicide.

"I just wish I had someone to talk to."

That's what started our entire movement.

When our friend's daughter was making ALL of the worst choices, her mom said to Clarissa, 'I just wish I had someone to talk to.'


She meant that in two ways:

  • I wish I had parents who've been there, done that, and can give me moral support and not judge me (or my daughter!) for my daughter's actions.
  • I wish I had parents who could guide me as to where to go for professional support.


And so The ParenT(w)een Connection was born.


We are a judgment-free zone where parents and other members of 'the village' can connect with each other & with pros to support each other and your t(w)eens.

Connection is Protection

Humans are wired for connection.


And yet society tells us we have to go it alone, somehow.


Families are not alone in navigating challenges with teens and tweens.


Professionals are not alone in trying to share their services with the families they can help.


We believe that the tighter of a web the professionals can weave, the more connected, supported, and knowledgeable parents will feel.


And the more connected, supported, and knowledgeable parents feel, the better they can connect with and advocate for their kids.


And the fewer kids we'll lose to suicide.
