“ Helping familiesto help themselves” Understanding Families The Solano Parent Network was created to support families with children who have or are at risk of having, serious emotional, behavioral, or mental disorders. Parents can be frustrated by a disability that is difficult to see or understand. Perhaps their child has simply been labeled as “bad” as a result of “poor parenting”! Although the family is often in turmoil, friends and relatives may even refuse to believe the problem exists. Rather than deal with all the negative feedback, families often become isolated. No one seems to understand. The Solano Parent Network is a group of parents who do understand, share and support each other. We know from first hand experience what you are going through. Our meetings are free and you are welcome!
How we can help Support Support group meetings provide an understanding environment for parents to network with each other, and share problems and solutions. Support group meetings are held in three locations around the county; Fairfield, Vallejo, and Vacaville. Please call the office to get locations, meeting times, and information on free childcare.
Education Speakers are invited to present information on topics that have been requested by participants. By providing workshops and services, we empower parents to be better advocates for their families. Resources In our library you will find a variety of valuable information. Additionally we publish a newsletter with a schedule of meetings and events of interest. Our members are also a great community resource! Respite We also administer a Respite program for Parent/Caregivers who have children with emotional/behavioral or mental disorders. This service is available to qualified clients of Solano County Health and Social Services and Children’s Mental Health Services. Our Respite Providers are specifically trained to deal with the needs of this population.
