You're Not Alone

The Flora May Foundation supports parents of struggling adolescents through some of the most difficult decisions they'll ever face. Whether your teen is withdrawing from life or acting out in disruptive ways, we're here to help you understand what's happening—and what your next steps can be.

Do Any of These Sound Familiar?

Your child has become withdrawn, anxious, or depressed
They're skipping school or refusing to get out of bed
Motivation, hygiene, or self-care are at an all-time low
You've noticed signs of self-harm or emotional outbursts
Your teen is lashing out, isolating, or breaking down
You suspect undiagnosed mental health issues
You're unsure if they need outpatient therapy or inpatient care

If you're nodding "yes" to any of the above, you're not a bad parent—and you're definitely not alone.

Helping Parents Heal—And Women Rebuild

We know that in many homes, mothers carry the emotional and financial weight. That's why we also offer a one-of-a-kind program called Working Women Winning (WWW)—a workforce development course for underemployed women (of all ages) in Orange County.

This award-winning program includes technical training, soft skills, finance, interview preparation, resume building, job placement assistance, and paid internships.

When parents feel empowered, kids feel safer. And when women rise, communities do too.
