The group includes parents as well as other caregivers of children ages 4-18. There is a strong psychoeducational component. Parents are taught what the basic needs of children are (secure attachment, autonomy, identity, relationship building) and what may happen if these are not met. Depending on their age, children will misbehave in different ways--all in an effort to direct attention to their unmet needs. Parents will understand the logic behind their children's apparent misbehavior. The group will also provide a forum for exploring what works to improve not only children's development but also their relationship with parents.

All too often, kids (5-15 yo) with behavioral issues at home or school (impulsivity, inattention, rule breaking, homework difficulties, aggression) are simply diagnosed with ADHD and medicated into submission - with poor outcomes or troublesome side-effects. Alternatively, kids demand constant monitoring or discipline enforcement, leaving parents and families disrupted, angry and stressed. Prognostically, kids can grow up to have conduct disorders, personality malformations, substance abuse problems, mood disorders and adult ADHD. Not good. This weekly, 10-session program is an alternative approach: directed at empowering parents with positive incentive and reinforcement strategies, smart and effective discipline and punishment techniques.

Parenting Support Groups
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
