We’re all in this together!
Find community in one of Peak’s groups!
At Peak Behavioral Health, our mental health support groups provide a safe, inclusive space for individuals to heal and grow. Grounded in evidence-based practices, we intentionally examine how these methods align with or fall short for LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and BIPOC communities. Our groups are designed through a multicultural lens, fostering open dialogue and reflection to address systemic oppression and create healing spaces that are culturally responsive and trauma-informed. We are committed to continuously evaluating and adapting our approaches to ensure they meet the unique needs of all participants, helping them build resilience and well-being.

Paths to Parenthood
This curriculum provides information to youth and young adults on the financial aspects and responsibilities of parenthood. It also provides an atmosphere that creates thoughtful reflection on what parenthood means to them and what it means to be a responsible parent. While the curriculum does impart concrete information, more importantly it seeks to make youth and young adult participants more aware and open to possibilities about one of life’s biggest decisions.
Here are the curriculum learning objectives:
• Participants who are not yet parents are better able to identify the key things they should consider before becoming a parent.
• Participants increase their knowledge of the costs associated with parenthood.
• Participants increase their knowledge of the legal obligations associated with parenthood.
• Participants can articulate their own perspectives on what it means to be a responsible parent.
• Participants can articulate how their current or past situations (e.g., trauma, criminal justice involvement) may influence their approach to parenthood.
• Participants increase their motivation to sequence parenthood in the context of overall life goals and stability.

SHEhlub: Hmong Women Support Group
Sib hlub: Hmong word meaning “love one another” or “love together.”
