What are the parent manuals?
Parent manuals are for parents of Hope Squad Members. The manuals explain what their children will be learning in the Hope Squad and provide at-home discussion questions that correlate with the lessons they are learning in the meetings. The parent manuals also provide resources for parents, like national hotlines, tips for helping their child with mental health issues, and tips for responding to a crisis.
