A Common Voice is a parent driven, nonprofit organization funded by Washington State Mental Health. The goal is to provide support, technical assistance, and to bring parents together who have experience raising children with complex needs.

What We Do

We teach parents to make community connections, partner with professionals in the schools, mental health care agencies, or any other system, all in the best interest of the child.

Support, we offer a wide range of support groups for parents to have the opportunity to help their children.
