BIO
Suzanne Alderson is a public speaker, media commentator and author devoted to empowering, educating, and supporting parents of children with mental health issues and mental illness.
Founder and CEO of the global digital community and charity Parenting Mental Health, Suzanne is passionate about creating a space for parents to connect, find support, and access resources and expert advice, to help parents better cope with caring for children who are facing mental health issues and mental illness.
When Suzanne Alderson’s 14-year-old daughter became suicidal in 2015, she and her family were thrown into a dark, frightening, and isolating time. All of the support was focused, rightly, on her daughter, but she knew that as a parent she had a vital part to play in guiding her daughter and her family through this challenging experience.
Parenting Mental Health started with a Facebook group in September 2016, with a goal to connect and support parents. Since then it has grown exponentially and now empowers, educates, and supports thousands of parents around the world.
Her daughter is fully recovered, off medication, and excited about life. Suzanne’s Partnering™ Approach to supporting her daughter that made such an impact is now helping other parents to help their children build resilient recoveries from mental illness.
A leading voice in the sector, Suzanne writes for a number of titles on the subject and is being published this October with her first book ‘Never Let Go - How to Parent Your Child Through Mental Illness’, published by Vermilion.
Through her work with Parenting Mental Health, Suzanne has been recognised as an expert consultant in community building, speaking extensively on the subject, as well as advising businesses and brands on community strategy and engagement.
