The Translating Teens Course is for ANY Parent of a Tween or Teen!

Parents of adolescents (or children who will soon be adolescents).

This course will provide essential tools for preventing teenage mental illness, including skills for:

transitioning into the next phase of your parenting journey
understanding the behaviors you might notice in your child
examples of common thinking traps on which parents of adolescents tend to get stuck and how to navigate through them
a new perspective on how to strengthen bonds and prevent weakening of familial connections with skills
an opportunity for parents to model choosing growth that doesn't happen in response to a crisis

Parents of adolescents already receiving therapy.

This course will provide you will common language with your kid and their therapist. This includes:

skills to use during parent check-ins with your kids' therapist, or in family therapy sessions, so that you can get the most value from these opportunities with less escalation.
an opportunity to show your child that you are just as invested in healing as you are asking them to be (which will inevitably keep them more bought into their own therapy).

Parents of children who are, or will be, receiving intensive treatment.

This course will ensure that your emotional and financial investment in intensive treatment is worth it by ensuring:

that you have an active, participatory role before during AND after your child's treatment
tangible skills to create change to alleviate feeling lost or unproductive during your child's treatment
that you are working on evolving the home environment so that that when your kid returns, their progress is more sustainable. Relapse prevention starts from the very beginning of intensive treatment!

How will you feel after completing this course?

Less confused about what happens when your kid shows intense emotions.
Less guilty about your role in your child’s difficulties.
Empowered to navigate the normal and abnormal struggles of development.
Better prepared to center and calm yourself in tense family interactions.
