Help for Troubled Teens in Dubuque, IA
Providing help for troubled teens is not for the weak. The truth is that all parents need help from time-to-time. It is especially true for parents of troubled teens, as they need special help for the mental health of their child. Raising teenagers in today's society is not easy, especially with all the changes to the "family". 
Over the last 30 years everything in society has changed, but the changes have not made it easier to be a parent, in fact these changes have made it harder to parent. If you are a parent of a troubled teenager and you need help (mentorship, coaching, guidance, support, advice) consider calling Restoring Troubled Teens. Our Family Advocates are poised to help parents of struggling teens. This is what we do, and we are very good at it.
What do parents do when their child is depressed, abusing alcohol or drugs, angry, violent, or totally out of control - making poor personal choices that are keeping parents up at night? This is a good question. Most parents in this situation feel all alone, isolated, and are tormented with fear and great concern. Nothing seems to work, and these parents can't seem to get control over the situation, waiting for the next shoe to drop. We can help parents of troubled youth.
The Type of Help that Parents are Looking for from Dubuque, IA
Parents are looking for specific type of support when dealing with a crisis with a troubled child. They are not looking for educational-based "how to parent" stuff. Not in the middle of a crisis. They are looking for hope and the chance to regain what seems to be lost.
Parents in crisis can be shutdown, or extremely angry, but they all want to restore and regain what they once had. They want to be able to love their child, communicate with their child, and to have a sense of peace. Parents want to know that their child has a future that is bright and prosperous. During the midst of the crisis it is imperative that parents receive the message "there is hope", "this too will pass", "we can get through this together".
The Family Advocates of Restoring Troubled Teens are on standby ready to support parents in crisis.
Life Quotes “If I had to wish for something, just one thing, it would be that Hannah would never see Tate the way I did. Never see Tate's beautiful, lush hair turn brittle, her skin sallow, her teeth ruined by anything she could get her hands on that would make her forget. That Hannah would never count how many men there were, or how vile humans can be to one another. That she would never see the moments in my life that were full of neglect, and fear, and revulsion, moments I can never go back to because I know they will slow me down for the rest of my life if I let myself remember them for one moment. Tate, who had kept Hannah alive that night, reading her the story of Jem Finch and Mrs. Dubose. And suddenly I know I have to go. But this time without being chased by the Brigadier, without experiencing the kindness of a postman from Yass, and without taking along a Cadet who will change the way I breath for the rest of my life.” ― Melina Marchetta
Famous Quotes “The flesh surrenders itself. Eternity takes back its own. Our bodies stirred these waters briefly, danced with a certain intoxication before the love of life and self, dealt with a few strange ideas, then submitted to the instruments of Time. What can we say of this? I occurred. I am not...yet, I occurred.” ― Frank Herbert
