When your child struggles with their mental health, parents often feel powerless, isolated, and unsure where to turn. For Michelle Crogie, that experience shaped not only her personal journey as a mother, but also her calling as the Executive Director of PLEO (Parents’ Lifeline of Eastern Ontario).
In this episode of Tune Up Your Warrior, Michelle shares how her daughter’s mental health challenges illuminated the loneliness parents face—and why peer-to-peer support is a lifeline for families navigating the unknown. Together, we explore:
The power of parent-led peer support and why lived experience matters
Common misconceptions about youth mental health and family support
How PLEO has grown into a 25-year grassroots movement supporting parents across Ontario
Michelle’s definition of leadership, hope, and resilience when it comes to both family and community
We also spotlight PLEO’s upcoming Art of Support Gala on October 9, 2025, celebrating 25 years of connection and advocacy.
If you’re a parent, caregiver, or ally who has ever felt alone in the journey of supporting your child’s mental health—you are not alone. Michelle’s story reminds us that hope is found in community.
