The Parents’ Network

Description

The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Network is a private community centered in collective healing for parents and caregivers bound by shared experiences of social media harm, who are ready to heal and learn together. Our community is reserved for parents and caregivers who have experienced acute online harm, and all participants within the community have been welcomed and verified by our staff.

The Parents’ Network app provides a safe, virtual space where parents can connect and chat with other parents about their experiences. In addition to our main, community-wide channels, we have also created a number of discussion threads, where you can connect with people who share a particular experience or identity. (For example, there are separate discussion threads for families whose children are living and have experienced – and often, are continuing to experience – acute harm, and for families who’ve experienced loss to fentanyl poisoning or to suicide; for fathers and for families who are looking to support surviving siblings; and many more).
