Today, we are amid a global mental health epidemic, and the data is staggering. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for ages 10-341, overdose deaths have increased 500% among ages 15-24 since 19992, and over 17 million kids age 3-17 have a diagnosable mental health disorder3. Parents and Friends Liz Reitman and Casie Fariello have been in the same predicament as many others; they needed help from others who might be in the same position as their families but did not have an outlet to turn to. From depression to drug use, fighting to interpersonal struggles, together they launch OTHER PARENTS LIKE ME (OPLM), an online peer support community designed for caregivers of those struggling with mental health and/or substance use issues to address.
