Referral Network Announcement: Parents Standing Together
Published March 01, 2026
While Collectors MD provides peer support, education, and community for collectors navigating compulsive behaviors and high-risk spending patterns, we recognize that families are often navigating the impact alongside them. That’s why we’re proud to highlight Parents Standing Together as part of our growing referral network.
Parents Standing Together is a parent-led nonprofit created by families with lived experience supporting children and young adults affected by problem gambling. Built by parents who discovered firsthand how difficult it was to find guidance and support, the organization focuses on helping families understand and respond to the growing risks surrounding youth gambling in today’s digital environment.
Through education, peer connection, and a private community for parents and caregivers, Parents Standing Together provides a space where families can ask questions, share experiences, recognize early warning signs, and better understand how gambling behaviors are evolving through sports betting apps, online platforms, gaming ecosystems, and other modern environments where young people spend their time.
Their work highlights an important reality: when a young person struggles with gambling, the entire family often feels the impact. Parents Standing Together helps reduce the isolation many families experience by offering connection with other parents who have lived through similar situations, creating a supportive environment grounded in empathy, shared experience, and practical guidance.
At Collectors MD, we believe meaningful support must extend beyond the individual. By highlighting organizations like Parents Standing Together, we’re helping ensure that parents and caregivers also have access to community, resources, and understanding as they navigate these challenges alongside their children.
If you’re a parent seeking clarity, connection, or support, you don’t have to navigate this alone.
