Helping Parents in Kansas Build a Strong Support Team
Building a support team can be as easy as choosing several good colleagues who are willing to listen. It also can be as formal as joining a support group or group therapy session. Most of these support groups are free of charge: Al Anon Meetings, Mental Help Clinic Counselors, AA, Church Sponsored Support Groups, etc..
Getting Help for Your Family is Job One
Getting help for your family is essential when your child is feeling discouraged, angry, disrepsected, hurt and apathetic. First look at yourself before running blindly after assistance from others or running amok with your child. Take a self-assessment test or evaluation because it represents a coming to terms with yourself and with your world.
