Our mission is simple:
To be the connection point we wish we had — a non-judgmental space where our family felt heard, understood and supported, no matter what we were experiencing. To walk alongside us through every step of our unique journey, helping us find the support, resources, knowledge and connection we needed to move through it — together.
Our ‘Why’
Our journey to creating PEACE began during one of the most difficult times of our family’s life.
When our son experienced a mental health crisis as a teenager, we found ourselves scared, overwhelmed and searching for support. We navigated hospitals, schools, professionals, resources, and mental health systems — while trying to care for our other family members and take care of own wellbeing.
What we needed most was one space that could connect us to everything we needed:
Someone to help us feel heard and understood;
People who had been through a similar experience and could give us hope;
Information and knowledge about what we were experiencing; and
Connections to useful and dependable resources, services and trusted professionals.
But that didn’t exist.
It was that life changing experience that became the foundation for PEACE Family Connections.
