Many families are currently dealing with stressful situations that are overwhelming and do not know were to turn. Until you can meet with me or another therapist of your choice, I am supplying the following website to offer some immediate help or information.
Do you have someone you love or care about, family member, child, parent that is unable to stop using/abusing drugs or alcohol? This problem effects everyone in a family system to include children.
Many times life doesn't seem the same, we have lost interest in things/events that we once loved, we have lost energy or most days cannot find the energy to get out of bed, or maybe you are so tired but cannot sleep or get enough sleep, or you are afraid of social situations or just afraid in general. You are not alone.
Currently 50-60% of first time marriages are ending in a divorce leaving our children in different families than any of us ever planned on. Second marriages are ending at a rate of 78%, third marriages at a rate of 83%, etc. Once someone does the hard work or doesn't and decides to enter into a new marriage, this stress of second marriages is significantly higher due to children already being present in the marriage from their first marriage or their new partners first marriages. This brings a different level of stress to the husband and wife and the children.
Along with relationship issues, the number one problem facing Americans is the issues of debt. It is not unusual for a single adult to have $30,000+ in debt when they graduate with an undergraduate degree from a college or university and this does not include student loans. Bankruptcy is not the only solutions!!
Parent of preteen and adolescent are being faced with a new generation of problems, looking for solutions in school is only part of the start to finding solutions along with medication interventions. Did you know that on an average teenagers who have been on ADHD are prone to engage in use of Marijuana? Did you know that one of the primary sources for drug abuse for teenagers is your medicine cabinet or your neighbors bathrooms? Did you know that parents who drink will have teenagers who use/abuse alcohol?
Have you or a family member been prescribed medication and you would like to learn more about the drug, what it can do vs what the possible side effects?
When you, a friend or a family member are struggling with what to do to help someone trapped in alcohol or drug abuse, do you know their rights as well as yours?
