NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mental Health Awareness Month was designed to nationally decrease the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage open conversation to prevent suicides, violence, depression, and other problems associated with mental health. However, many adolescents, young adults \u2013 and their parents \u2013 are still in crisis.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nDrug use among adolescents is up and the CDC says overdose deaths have increased 500% since 1999 among 15-24-year-olds. Suicide is now the 2nd leading cause of death among people ages 10-34 there has been a 31% increase in mental health ER visits among 12-17-year-olds according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH.)\n<\/p>\n

\nThe implications of not addressing this crisis are catastrophic. But one organization is helping parents in similar situations lean on each other\u2019s virtual shoulders.\n<\/p>\n

\nOther Parents Like Me (OPLM)<\/b><\/a> is a membership-based virtual community and resource hub created by parents of children struggling with substance use and mental health issues \u2013 for other parents walking the same road. Since its launch earlier this year, OPLM has increased its user base by 96% – reinforcing the need for an organization that lets parents know they are not alone.\n<\/p>\n

\nCreators Liz Reitman and Casie Fariello recognized the void of support resources for parents going through this crisis, when both their kids attended a therapeutic boarding school during COVID-19.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe needed connection and there was nothing like this at all,\u201d said Reitman. \u201cWe were all going through the same thing, and we were really the only other people who understood how we were feeling.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nOPLM provides a safe space with the access and support parents need to move from crisis to healing. The platform offers daily peer-led Zoom support groups, expert panels, a directory of professionals and a hub of podcasts, articles, apps, books, and organizations all things recovery and wellness. Group sharing has become a potent way for members to find community, connection, and meaningful support.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cParents trying to help a child leave an addiction or get mental health help often eventually just feel hopeless,\u201d said Fariello. \u201cThe parents are trying to deal with their own trauma from the situation but there\u2019s a lot of public stigma or even shame the parent feels. But when a parent starts to work on healing themselves, they assist their child in the process. It might seem counterintuitive to prioritize your own mental health, but in this situation, it\u2019s essential.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
