Prepared Parenting

Welcome to prepared parenting!

Let's face it, one can never truly be a prepared parent. After all, parenting is defined by unpredictable changes and crises, circumstances and events. But every parent can become more aware of the crucial aspects of our children's lives. Here you will find potentially life-saving information on mental health issues and suicide prevention for our children and adolescents. You will find resources and crisis contacts as well as opportunities for free parent education programs. While no one can fully prepare for every possible situation, aware parents are a critical step in being prepared!

Prepared Parenting was founded by Dr. Paula McCall, a nationally certified school psychologist and Arizona licensed psychologist who works primarily with children and adolescents. Due to both personal and professional experiences, Dr. McCall has become passionate about providing free parent information and education opportunities about mental health, hoping to reduce the stigma and open valuable and life-saving dialogue.
