Originally known as "Parents Anonymous," Parents Helping Parents ("PHP") has created a network of mutual support groups that meet weekly in communities across Massachusetts. South Shore groups include:

Braintree

Bourne

Brockton

Quincy

Parents who join PHP groups want to improve their parenting skills and family relationships. Group members work together to ensure that each parent member has the tools and support necessary to make these changes.

Groups are jointly facilitated by a parent leader and a trained facilitator, who often has a professional background in counseling, group dynamics, and/or child development. All groups are "parent run." This means that members take the lead in helping each other talk about their frustrations, identify problem areas and explore different ways of dealing with difficulties in their everyday lives.
