A Common Voice is a parent driven, nonprofit organization funded by Washington State Mental Health. Our goal is to provide support, technical assistance, and to bring Pierce County parents together who have experience raising children with complex needs.  We pride ourselves on building a partnership between, Communities, Systems, Families and Schools.

 

We Teach parents to make community connections, partner with professionals in the schools, mental health care agencies, or any other system, all in the best interest of the child.

Support, we offer several parent support groups for parents doing a tough job with a tough kid.  All parent support groups are facilitated by parents who have had first hand experience living with a child who struggles with regulating their emotions. All support groups and trainings are free to Pierce County parents.
