Don’t miss this episode with Casie Fariello, a mom with three kids with different mental health issues—anxiety, substance abuse, depression, and self-harm. Her knowledge range is vast, including intensive outpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, wilderness therapy, and a therapeutic boarding school. Casie knows all about managing the complexities of navigating the system as well as regulating yourself when you have a child or children struggling. Casie also knows what it’s like to be on a different page than your spouse when it comes to dealing with your children. And she knows the pain of almost losing a child to overdose.
Because of all of her personal pain and learning, Casie co-founded Other Parents Like Me (oplm.com (http://oplm.com)). She started OPLM because she needed a lifeline for herself. OPLM is parent and caregiver-focused, providing free webinars and a myriad of resources for a nominal cost, including 18 support groups a week.
Casie is passionate about creating a place where no one is shocked to hear what someone has to say and has done the research that shows how important peer support is. Additionally, financial aid is available for those who need it.
