About The Program
Nevada PEP understands that children and youth with disabilities including those with mental health needs and their families face challenges that the pandemic has only heightened. More needs to be done to strengthen families to achieve home, community and school success.
In keeping with our Mission to increase opportunities through education, encouragement, and empowerment activities, we proudly introduce Families SHARE – Solutions for Hope and Resiliency Exchange. Families SHARE is an interactive program providing tools for families and youth to reduce stress, stay hopeful, and build resilience.

Stay Hopeful
Hope is a significant protective factor in tackling feelings of helplessness. When we stay hopeful, our happiness increases, and our quality of life improves. Look here for activities, strategies, and ideas to help you and your family stay hopeful.
Build Resilience
Resilience helps us rebound from setbacks, resist unhealthy coping mechanisms, and adapt to life’s trials. Building resilience won’t make problems go away, but it will help us manage challenges and improve mental health. This is the place for apps, sites, and exercises to help you and your family build resilience.
