STEP OFF THE ROLLER COASTER

Support for parents of teens who struggle with their mental health

This coaching group is for parents of adolescents with mental health issues who feel like they are on an emotional roller coaster and want to learn how to create peace at home and best support their teen.

If you are ready to look at things from a new perspective, you have the power to start turning things around RIGHT NOW! This isn’t about doing the next thing to ‘fix’ your teen. Instead, it is about empowering you as a parent.

Life Right Now...

You've worried at times that you've enabled your teen, but at the same time, you've worried you haven't done enough.
You want your teen to be independent, and you want to reclaim your free time and sense of self outside parenting.
You want to parent your way without walking on eggshells, biting your tongue, or waiting for the other shoe to drop.
You've tried to set boundaries, and when you do, you clench your teeth through the next explosion and then throw your hands up because now everyone is miserable.
You don't know where to draw the line becasue you know the diagnosis is real, but you also know there have to be limits. (You can't let them sleep all day, right?)
Everyone else's needs, including your own, keep getting put on the back burner.

Life with Coaching!

Ability to pay attention to ALL the things going on in your family, not just your depressed teen's urgent needs.
Freedom to have a life outside of the worry, strain and tension that comes with parenting a depressed and anxious teen.
Real connection with your teen and peace in your home without power struggles.
Acceptance of who your teen is so that you can provide help and support without the need to "fix" them.
Allowance for your teen's unique journey to independence and space to flourish when it conflicts with what you have always envisioned for your teen's future.

What's Included

Together we will explore...

How to come to terms with who your teen is, their diagnosis, and your current situation.
Why you feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster and what to do about it.

We have gained so much from your coaching and the group experience. I want to thank you for your help because it really has made a world of difference. We know that there will always be bumps in the road but feel we now have the tools to navigate in a more constructive manner. If you are a parent of a teen who is struggling with anxiety/depression, this parent coaching group is extremely valuable in giving you the tools and mindset to help your teen. After participating in Dr. Young's parent coaching group, I am able to show up as a more compassionate parent while at the same time maintaining boundaries and rules. I also highly recommend the parent coaching for spouses too; it is a great way to get both parents on the same page and improve communication with their teen.

"As parents of a young adult who suffers from both anxiety and depression, my husband and I sometimes find ourselves at a loss for how best to work with our daughter and provide her with the support that she needs. When we saw that Dr. Young was establishing a coaching group for parents, we were a bit hesitant as it’s never easy to share personal, occasionally painful, experiences with people who you don’t know. Nonetheless, we decided to give it a try. It really was a great experience! Dr. Young provides clear, easy to follow suggestions on how to approach challenges while facilitating discussions and providing validation. We would definitely recommend this parents’ coaching group as it gave my husband and me a new perspective, insight into the fact that our issues were not unique and lots of support from some very loving families."

"When Dr. Young invited me to join her parent coaching group, I was skeptical and hesitant, especially as I was feeling a bit “over-therapied”. Even after the first few sessions, I was on the fence about continuing as my family circumstances seemed different from the other parents. Once I removed the lens of trying to compare situations and instead focus on the feelings, thoughts and actions that the other parents shared, something clicked. I find that the sessions are valuable, not for figuring out what to do about my child, but for figuring out what I need to do. The open exchange of experiences is often comforting and allows me to see that I have choices. Choices I need to make about how to feel, how to respond and how to nurture myself. Through the sessions, I have increasingly felt better able to take on the important next step of acceptance of my child’s mental health difficulties and what that means for life's journey."
