Challenges & Solutions

Parenting a child with mental health issues is incredibly tough—and you don’t have to do it alone.

If you’ve ever asked, “Is this normal or something more?” or wondered, “Should I step in—or step back?” you’re not alone. Many parents feel overwhelmed trying to support a child in therapy or facing mental health struggles or even wondering if my child needs more help?

You’ll learn how to:

  • Create an emotionally supportive home environment
  • Recognize when your child may need more support
  • Distinguish between setbacks and progress in treatment
  • Play a meaningful role in your child’s therapy
  • Use evidence-based strategies to avoid parental burnout
  • Repair and strengthen your relationship through honest connection

Let’s stop parenting from panic mode—and start from a place of compassion, clarity, and connection. Your support can be a powerful part of your child’s healing.

Challenges & Solutions

Child and adolescent therapists tend to differ widely in their approaches to including parents in treatment. However, it’s helpful when you understand your child’s goals in therapy, adjust parenting approaches based on your child’s challenges and recognize when your child is making progress. Sometimes as parents we need to consider whether we have mental health challenges that may be affecting our child. Parent involvement in therapy varies based on age, strategies being used by the therapist and parent capacities. This conversation will highlight some best practices for parents who have children in therapy and answer any and all questions you may have about your child’s therapy experience. Join this workshop for more clarity on how you can help your child reach their treatment goals.

Family Friendly Solutions for Managers

Challenges & Solutions

Our Solution Series Libraries are developed around a specific parenting challenge. Each Series includes a collection of hand-picked, easily digestible (15 min+/-) videos which unlock a key piece of the parenting puzzle.  Read our summary of this Series below then click on each lesson to access the class description, video, handouts, and information about our Expert(s). 

If you are a parent or a supervisor trying to find a balance between work and home responsibilities and boundaries, you are not alone. A family-friendly supervisor finds ways to support working parents who may need flexible working arrangements outside of standard employment practices. Bureau of labor statistics show that and a survey of working parents revealed that 85% would be more loyal to their employers if they had a flexible work arrangement. Other research shows that flexible workers may face bias that leads them to be perceived as less productive and less committed to work.

In this series supervisors will learn about the flexibility bias, the source of this bias as well as its consequences, and explore the relevant research and the strong business case for flexible work arrangements.
