Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world—and parenting a child with mental health challenges amplifies those difficulties exponentially. You’re likely pouring your heart and soul into supporting your child, often with more effort than most caregivers around you. Yet, despite your best efforts, your child may still face risks, struggle to thrive, or progress more slowly than their peers.
This raises an urgent and personal question: How can you sustain this level of care without sacrificing your own mental health? Preventing caregiver burnout requires intentionality, consistency, and resources. Experts emphasize the importance of self-care and building a robust support network for yourself to navigate this demanding journey.
At Youth Support Services (TYSS), we are here to champion you. Caregivers are the cornerstone of a young person’s recovery and well-being, and we believe your health and resilience are just as critical as the care you provide. That’s why TYSS is dedicated to equipping caregivers of youth experiencing mental health crises with the tools, resources, and support they need to flourish alongside their loved ones.
We also recognize that systemic inequities, particularly racial disparities in healthcare, create additional barriers for marginalized communities. At TYSS, we are committed to dismantling these inequities, promoting fairness, and driving meaningful, lasting change for those who need it most.
Together, we can build a future where both caregivers and youth find the support they need to thrive.
