Services:
This is a book that is a program that teaches you how to be a sober coach for your child--think 'life coach' but but you become the support your young person needs. The site and the interactive guide is a quick information retrieval system and educational tool that instructs parents and caregivers exactly where to go and what to do in a crisis concerning drugs. It is not a prevention book. It is not a parenting book. It is not a lecture on what they should-have-done-when-their-child-was-young book. Rather than alienate the parent/caregiver through admonishment or a lack of communication skills or hints of inadequate parenting, this book makes the parent an immediate ally of the treatment professional. The principles behind the Teaching-Family Model draws them into the treatment plan as a facilitator of the solution—not the cause of the problem.
Types of Services:
Teen programs
Address:
The location is your own home. You learn how to make informed decisions, focus on the family's health and not the child's illness and set limits and enforce boundaries--and you do this program in your home! In other words, you implement the program, your sober coaching, where the problem exists--not in a foreign environment. Your home becomes your new center for health.
Message to Parents:
Sober Coaching Your Toxic Teen teaches parents and caregivers how to manage two types of drug crises: the young person who is addicted to mind-affecting chemicals or the young person who may not yet be addicted, but has precipitated a crisis involving drugs. Not all teens who use drugs are addicts, yet using any illegal substances put them at risk for all manner of tragedy including the loss of life.
This book is a management manual for the frantic parent and a resource for the professional to use with them. The reproducible handouts and worksheets are not only innovative, but important educational tools. This book is arranged so simply and clearly, that any panicked parent will be able to find the answers they need. It is parent-panic friendly.
