PARENT EDUCATION & TRAINING

 An integral part of our treatment of children is parent education and training. We offer parent training to deal with a myriad of childhood issues. Parent training includes instruction in parent empowerment programs, conjoint sessions with a parent and child and multi parent groups to assist parents with similar parenting issues. We work with parents of younger children on establishing behavioral modification programs, responding to tantrums, overcoming homework battles and appropriate use of discipline and rewards. We help parents of teens cope with their teen's mood swings, hostility, drug and alcohol use, lack of motivation and/or depression. We assist parents of teens in creating “contracts” so that all parties are on the same page with respect to expectations and consequences.
