I was a volunteer with the Canada Mental Health Association (CMHA) Peer Support Group in Calgary for five years, and would highly recommend it. We had parents, of children suffering from various forms of mental illness, who were completely overwhelmed, and wondering what to do next. We would listen to their problems and offer various suggestions to help them cope and improve their relationship with their child. It was often only a relatively short time when we could see a marked improvement in their situation.
