Parents Forum shares a helpful list of organizations that support parents and families. This directory includes both U.S. and international groups that work on parenting education, child development, family support, and mental health. Some focus on specific needs like single parenting, gifted children, or healthy child development.
Others work on broader family issues through research, education, and advocacy. The list includes well-known organizations like Harvard's Center on the Developing Child, which studies how children's brains develop, and the National Parents Union, which advocates for parents' voices in education. There are also international groups like the United Nations family programs and organizations in other countries.
Parents Forum collected these resources to help parents find support, whether they need parenting classes, mental health help, advocacy groups, or research on child development. The organization makes clear they don't formally endorse all these groups - they're just sharing helpful resources they've found. Parents can explore these links to find support that fits their family's specific needs.
