CATCH offers a range of free, accessible resources via their website (catchiscommunity.org), including parent groups, videos, and upcoming events. Dr. Lisa Novak highlights opportunities to volunteer and join the broader mission, emphasizing that community participation is central to how CATCH operates and grows.

Dr. Lisa Novak explains that resilience, in the CATCH framework, means equipping families to withstand life’s challenges—not just pushing kids to perform. The organization focuses on parents and caregivers through peer support groups, educational programming, and tools like Coping Kits—delivered at key school transition years—to shift focus from achievement to emotional readiness.

Dr. Lisa Novak introduces CATCH (Community Action Together for Children’s Health), a local nonprofit founded by Amy Oberholtzer to support parents raising emotionally resilient children. Born from a personal experience navigating mental health challenges in an achievement-focused culture, CATCH emerged to fill the gap in accessible resources for families in need.
