In case you are wondering about your daughter's diagnosis, here's something to consider:
More Girls are Being Diagnosed with Autism
"Autism rates in girls have steadily risen in recent years. But as more women are diagnosed in adulthood, some wonder how many girls are still missed." ...
New! Book Club
with Parent Coach Sarah MacKay Lynch
There are so many good books out there on mental health. But do you feel like you don't have enough time to read and really absorb them? What if you were in a discussion group with other parents who had an older teen or young adult with similar mental health issues? Well, our parent coach has started a book group. It will meet regularly on Zoom.
To find out more, please email Sarah at sarahmackaycoaching@gmail.com.
Parents of teens and young adults who are dealing with mental health issues may have had a more difficult time than others during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Family Sanity, along with Willows in the Wind and SF NAMI Parent Support have joined together to offer five monthly parent support meetings, live online via zoom.com.
The groups originate in the Bay Area, but thanks to this online technology we have parents coming from all over the U.S. The groups are conducted by the organizations’ leaders or trained facilitators, as well as our certified parent coach, Sarah MacKay Lynch.

Please donate today....
Family Sanity is almost 9 years old. We have helped hundreds of families who have teens and young adults coping with mental illness. The non-profit organization is run by a very small staff of parent volunteers. We'd love to be able to expand our services, but our resources are limited.
As you may already know, our fundraising efforts at this point have mainly come from the sales of artwork created by Lisa Scimens, our founder (www.lisascimens.com). We are very grateful to a few very generous folks who have provided additional funding and we'd like to increase those funding sources.
