Our B.I.L.Y. Parent Support Groups have grown, and we are holding free Zoom meetings three times a week for both California and out-of-state parents! There are no membership requirements or dues.
To join a group, please email Dennis for details, the Zoom Meeting ID, and the password.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
With the spread of the Coronavirus, I pray that you are all staying safe! At our Birmingham Charter support group in Van Nuys, CA, it has been many weeks since we have been able to meet, and we at B.I.L.Y. miss all of you.
Please know that we are still here to help you! Use your Small Group hot line lists and stay in touch, stay connected. If you do not have a local group, call us directly. Isolation is difficult for everyone. Having your youth home every day can be stressful, but it can also be constructive. Maintain positive energies within the home, keep lines of communication open and use your B.I.L.Y. tools.
We know that B.I.L.Y. is a community connected by caring and compassion. Our support and guidance to improve communication, promote structure and cooperation in the home, and achieve our goal of family preservation are fundamental principles that will endure through this time of uncertainty.
Your ongoing support for B.I.L.Y. is deeply appreciated and absolutely vital as we continue our mission to provide peer support and tools for families to help them work through unavoidable crises, build lasting relationships, create a harmonious home, and prepare children for life.
Remember this is temporary and we will get through it together. I welcome all calls and emails, and love to hear from those who are new to B.I.L.Y. or just visiting our website. Sometimes just a chat can help soothe the stress, so send me an email or give me a call.
Stay healthy, stay safe, and stay in touch.
