Other Parents Like Me (OPLM) is a parent-founded online community created by two mothers who experienced the emotional and practical challenges of raising a child struggling with mental health issues. What began as a lifeline for their own families has grown into a global platform where parents can find connection, clarity, and the kind of support only another parent truly understands.

OPLM offers 18 weekly live, peer-led support groups, giving parents a consistent space to feel seen, heard, and supported. These include groups focused on self-compassion, meditation, practical tools for families, navigating treatment programs, neurodivergence, and more — meeting parents exactly where they are, in every stage of the journey.

Each week, members also have access to Live Thursday Speaker Talks, featuring leading experts in mental health, family systems, communication, and adolescent development.

The platform includes a private, anonymous Resource Hub, featuring a comprehensive glossary, a support directory, and curated toolkits with books, articles, videos, and parenting resources contributed and recommended by both professionals and parents.

OPLM exists to ensure that no parent ever has to walk this road alone. Through shared experience and evidence-informed guidance, the community helps parents strengthen their own emotional resilience while creating healthier, more connected relationships with their families.
