In the fall 2004 Parentalk, Dan Knoepfler, MC and Martha Davis, MSW wrote an article on parent support groups.
Many parents feel they must put on a strong front to help their child get through the treatment process. Though this may be true, parents also need to express their own anger, frustration and sadness.
Hope all is well. This blog looks at the benifits of support groups for parents and caregivers of children and youth with sexual behavior problems. The following stories comes from Stop It Now, Parentalk, Fall 2004 . . .
The following four stories are written by parents of children with sexual behavior problems who are in the same support group, led by the treatment provider who works with their children.
They each have a different perspective, have different stories to tell, and have joined the group at different stages in their own families’situation. But despite their differences, they have all found that attending the support group has helped immensely in their families’ recovery and healing. They share their stories below.
Happy 4th of July!!!
One of my goals for this blog is to pass on helpful information, articles, and links. I am a firm believer in “Knowledge is Power” but only if a person can use it. Hopefully, the information in this blog and future blogs can be useful.
This was an article from Stop It Now! Parent Talk, Fall 2007. http://www.stopitnow.org/parentalk. Wrap around services can be an important component for youth and their family’s to get their treatment needs met in the least restrictive enviroment in the community.
