FYI Parent Support Groups

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 Social Support
    5:00 PM-6:30 PM
    July 10, 2024

    Youth MOVE Social Support is peer-led by a trained teen leader with support and supervision from a Families and Youth of Idaho staff member. This wellness group is aimed towards high schoolers who identify as neurodivergent, as well as other teens who would benefit from the group. Teens will have opportunities to practice self-advocacy, discuss mental health, and form positive social connections. Group meetings will involve lessons, discussions, and educational activities as well as recreation and games. We intend to form a tight-knit community of friends who can help each other through the transitions of adolescence and young adulthood.

    This group meets at the Boise Brick House which is located at the Families and Youth of Idaho office at 704 N 7th Street Boise ID, 83702. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

    If you are interested in the group, contact the Youth Programs Coordinator Emma James at ejames@fyidaho.org
