Thrive is excited to announce a new virtual support group for parents of teens whose child is struggling with emotional and behavioral concerns beyond what is typical of adolescence. This psychoeducational group is informed by years of research on effectively managing high risk, dysregulated and troubling teen behaviors, and will offer parents a place to learn:

  • Effective, practical, evidence-based ways to manage conflict and emotional outbursts with your teen
  • Ideas for improving communication, collaboration and problem solving within your family system
  • Guidelines for setting and maintaining effective boundaries while supporting your teens in increasing communication and decreasing unskillful behaviors

 

Attendees will have access to:

  • Eight, 90-min psychoeducational groups facilitated weekly by Kristen Schuch, LPC, a seasoned DBT clinician with expertise in supporting teens and families
  • Two, 30-min check-ins with the group leader (once at intake, once near group end)
  • Access to pre-recorded videos of session content (in case you need to miss a week)
  • Handouts reviewing key strategies and concepts
  • A genuine, supportive, parent- and caregiver-only space guided by an expert clinician
