Parent Peer Support Group
Parent Peer Support Group (PPSG): A Community of Connection and Support
The Parent Peer Support Group (PPSG) was created in response to the challenges families faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. As parents navigated the complexities of becoming teachers and technical support for their children’s education, many found themselves overwhelmed and in need of a space where they could connect, share experiences, and seek support. In response to this need, the Village Community Resource Center launched PPSG as a virtual space for parents to come together on a weekly basis, share their challenges, and find guidance.
Initially designed for parents, the PPSG has expanded to serve everyone in the community. These weekly online sessions, held in Spanish, provide a welcoming environment where participants can engage with others, learn, and grow through a variety of topics focused on wellness, personal development, and emotional well-being.
What We Offer
Weekly Online Workshops
The PPSG hosts weekly sessions on Zoom, where participants can join discussions around a range of topics such as wellness and preventive health methods, emotional intelligence, goal setting, and coping skills. These workshops are held in Spanish to ensure accessibility and cultural relevance for our Spanish-speaking community members.

The sessions are designed to create a participatory learning environment, allowing individuals to share their experiences, support one another, and gain insights from the collective wisdom of the group. Each workshop provides practical skills that participants can apply in their daily lives, helping them navigate life’s challenges with more confidence and resilience.
