Why Milford Schools Partnered with ParentGuidance.org

We recognize that parents look to schools to support their child’s mental health, but the increasing complexities of today’s world make collaboration essential. That’s why we’ve partnered with ParentGuidance.org to provide families with a trusted, accessible resource to navigate challenges and strengthen relationships at home.

The district has secured a one year $30,000 grant through the Appalachian Children Coalition to increase the opportunities for the Parent Guidance platform. As such, the District is able to offer these services at no cost for up to one year ending in January 2026. We are proud to provide this valuable resource to all our families, free of charge, and we encourage everyone to explore and take full advantage of these impactful tools.
