Summary
Groups for teens are not enough. Teens need to be part of a holistically validating environment. When teens go through rigorous group therapy but their caregivers are excluded from the healing journey, there is a disconnect. Healing is slower, rockier, and more painful. Having parent support groups reduces the friction for teens and their families. What I’m saying is, that when parents are informed, invested, and involved, you’ll stop receiving really long emails from parents asking you why therapy hasn’t worked yet.
In this episode, I walk you through why you want to have parent support groups, how to run these support groups, and even give you an opportunity to swipe my entire parent support group curriculum.
