What are the FYI Parent Support Groups?

The FYIdaho Parents Support Groups are a virtual space for parents/caregivers to come together to provide peer emotional support to one another. Groups are established around parent interests and topics parents bring up on the Family Support Line. An FYIdaho staff member is always present to add structure to the conversation, but parents/caregivers provide the topics and resources they would like to share. Parents/caregivers can expect to meet others who share similar experiences and to find comfort in meeting others who understand their challenging journey.

Youth MOVE Discord (YM Discord) is a statewide virtual program for high schoolers throughout Idaho to provide peer emotional support to one another and practice mental health advocacy. YM Discord is meant for high schoolers who live in rural areas, teens who prefer connecting virtually or can’t attend our in-person Youth MOVE groups for other reasons. Participants communicate throughout the week via the various chat channels on the server and meet via the voice channel once weekly to discuss mental health topics, do check-ins, and play games.
