OUR MISSION

To solve the child and teen mental health epidemic by empowering parents to strengthen their children’s mental wellbeing. We do this by:

  • Up-skilling parents with the knowledge and skills to proactively parent for today’s unique and unprecedented challenges

  • Collaborating with progressive business leaders to empower their parent employees with practical tools to take charge of their children’s mental health

  • Helping families build true connection—the foundation for raising happy, healthy children

“A connected family is the anchor children need for emotional resilience.”

— Deirdre Brandner, Child and Family Psychologist

Children, parents and families are under pressure like never before.  At Bluestone Families, we help parents navigate today’s unique challenges with practical tools to grow emotionally resilient children and build stronger, more connected families

We believe real change starts with a clear simple plan:

  • Educate parents and caregivers in the workplace on how to support and manage their children's mental health

  • Through family retreats, work with business leaders and their families on how to foster deep family connection. In turn, these leaders will be inspired to champion parent support and education within the businesses they lead and communities they live in
