About Us

Upstream Parent is a place for all the parents that really wish their teen came with an instruction manual. We all want to be the best parents we can be for our children, and for them to grow up to be healthy and successful. But let’s be honest, navigating the teen years was a struggle for most of us, so helping our own teens do the same can sometimes seem like an uphill battle. Plus the added challenges faced by teens today can leave many parents wondering where to start.

Luckily, we are here to help provide some guidance in navigating the crazy world of Cortland County teens. Modern parents like yourself have the entire internet at their disposal, and it’s hard to know whom or what to trust. Here, we’ll talk about what we know about teens in Cortland County (we have a lot of data on the subject) and provide some awesome advice from local experts in the health field. Think of us as your own personal assistant when it comes to parenting teens.

So whether you’re worried about your teen drinking or doing drugs, don’t know how to talk about…sex, or want to help your teen deal with stress and anxiety, Upstream Parent is here for you.

Upstream Parent is a digital resource for parents managed by Cortland Area Communities That Care Coalition, a local nonprofit focused on making sure youth in our community grow up to be healthy and successful.
