Supporting Families with Parenting Packs

At Insight Matters, we believe parents are the first and most important teachers in a child’s life. But we also know parenting can feel overwhelming at times, especially when navigating challenges like mental health, stress, or concerns about alcohol and drug use among youth. That’s why we’ve created the Parenting Packs: easy-to-use resources designed to give families practical tools, encouragement, and hope.

What’s Inside a Parenting Pack?

Each Parenting Pack is carefully put together with families in mind. Inside, parents will find:

• Conversation Guides – Tips on how to start meaningful talks with kids and teens about mental health, healthy coping, and substance use.

• Stress Management & Resilience Tools – Practical activities families can use together to build coping skills and strengthen relationships.

• Community Resources – Information about local services, hotlines, and programs that support families’ mental health and wellness.

• Fun & Engaging Extras – Small items like affirmation cards, family activity ideas, and tools to make learning interactive and positive.

Why Parenting Packs Matter

Parenting Packs aren’t just a bundle of resources, they’re a bridge. They connect families to information, support, and community. By providing these packs, Insight Matters helps parents feel less alone, more prepared, and more empowered to guide their children through today’s challenges.

We’ve seen firsthand how a small resource can make a big difference. A parent might use one of the conversation starters to finally open up a needed discussion with their teen. A stress-relief activity could become a new family routine. And knowing where to turn for help can ease the pressure parents often carry in silence.

Where to Find Them

Insight Matters’ Parenting Packs are available at community events, through local schools, and directly from our team. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or educator, these packs are meant for you, and they’re free of charge.

Together, We Build Stronger Families

Every Parenting Pack is part of our larger mission: to promote mental health, prevent substance misuse, and create a healthier, more connected community. By equipping parents with tools and resources, we’re investing in the strength of families today and the wellbeing of youth tomorrow.
