About Us

Two Faces of Jane, an Ohio nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, was established in early 2022 to help parents and caretakers as they traverse the long and difficult journey of loving, caring for, and raising a child with a serious mental illness or brain disorder. We help by providing education, support, and advocacy.

​

Raising a child with mental illness takes a great toll on the parents, many of which are single parents. The journey to adulthood with a mentally ill child is devastating emotionally, financially, spiritually, and physically, and in the case of major mental illness, that journey of parent and child continues for the rest of the child’s life. There are some services for families out there, but little help for parent caregivers. That is why Two Faces of Jane was founded: to fill in the gap in services for parent caregivers.

 

Here’s how we help:

• Because stigma is the root cause of parents’ isolation, public advocacy and mental health literacy are central areas of focus.

• Because parents are rarely prepared for the challenges that chronic mental illness brings into their lives, we focus on parent education and support by fostering connections so that they know they are not alone.

• To create a better future, we are working to bring financial support and respite care to families.
