Supporting Parents' mental health to better support their family's mental health


We, at RPLYT, are committed to supporting our Community throughout the
COVID-19 Pandemic.

We understand that during this time, parents need to be supported even more than ever.

With that, we are offering a free ONLINE Parent Support Group to any parent who needs support.
Charlotte & Robyn
Please pass this email onto parents or caregivers who might benefit from our support.
We are here to help.
This is peer led support group. This is not counselling.

This is a peer lead support group by parents with lived experience raising children with mental health concerns. At RPLYT we know how important it is to nurture your own mental health during stressful times.  

You can log into Zoom on your computer or your phone. You can interact with the facilitator and group members or just listen. It is whatever you are comfortable with. We are all here to support you on your journey of mental health.
Today parents are dealing with anxiety and extreme stress due to COVID-19. Many parents of children/teens who struggle with mental health concerns may be entering these difficult times with battle fatigue. Children and teens react to the behaviours and energy from the adults around them. As parents it is important to keep our own mental wellness in check to keep our homes and families in good health.  

At RPLYT we like to call this a parallel process.

Please join us for a Free ONLINE Parent Support Group

Wednesday Evenings from 7:00-8:30pm CDT

This will be an hour and a half facilitator lead support for Parents via Zoom

Facilitated by Kirsten Drybrough and Charlotte Sytnyk

Kirsten and Charlotte have been facilitating groups for over 5 years. They now train future facilitators of groups in health organizations, schools and parents.
Charlotte Sytnyk
the Mental Health Momager and
Co-creator at RPLYT
 
Charlotte's kind and approachable demeanor make her a hot commodity in the Mental Health world. A woman who believes that there is good in everyone, Charlotte uses her lived experience raising resilient daughters to bring awareness and support to people living with Mental Health issues.

As a solution focused coach, Charlotte works with parents of children struggling with Mental Health to support, advocate and provide strategies for success and recovery. Her education, coupled with her track record helping people find the resources they need, has given her the street cred. needed to make a difference.

Charlotte believes whole heartedly in Peer Support and its role in Mental Wellness.  

Kirsten Drybrough
the Ambassador of Advocacy and Parent Support at RPLYT

Kirsten is known for having a calm and gentle demeanor but don't let this fool you, she is a powerful mental health advocate for Canadian adolescents. 

It is through her personal journey that she has created significant change in government policy regarding mental health and adolescents, allowing young people who need help, to obtain the funds necessary to get the treatment they so desperately need. 

Kirsten believes that we all must "own our story'" and that shame should never follow a mental health struggle. Through her experience raising two beautiful daughters, alongside her husband Keith, she has earned a wealth of knowledge to share with other parents.
