The Tsunami:
So what does lead a parent or guardian to consider therapeutic treatment away from home?
Given recent advances in recognizing and advocating for mental health solid and effective treatment options do exist for both adolescents and young adults. And often these services suffice in improving mental health and increasing social and relational functioning.
However, there comes a time when a family may feel that despite their best efforts and those of collaborating mental health professionals, their son or daughter just needs MORE.
While those involved may not be exactly sure what that entails exactly, there is often the resolve " this just isn't working" or "he/she does not seem to be getting any better" or "we're stuck."
This is the appropriate time to request assistance and consult with Kris and the Turning Tides Team.
