Help for Troubled Teens in Fort Dodge, 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 Fort Dodge, 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.
Reality Quotes “The man who is contented to be only himself, and therefore less a self, is in prison. My own eyes are not enough for me, I will see through those of others. Reality, even seen through the eyes of many, is not enough. I will see what others have invented. Even the eyes of all humanity are not enough. I regret that the brutes connot write books. Very gladly would I learn what face things present to a mouse or a bee; more gladly still would I perceive the olfactory world charged with all the information and emotion it carries for a dog. Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality... in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad of eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.” ― C.S. Lewis
Life Quote “I believe these stories exist because we sometimes need to create unreal monsters and bogies to stand in for all the things we fear in our real lives: the parent who punches instead of kissing, the auto accident that takes a loved one, the cancer we one day discover living in our own bodies. If such terrible occurrences were acts of darkness, they might actually be easier to cope with. But instead of being dark, they have their own terrible brilliance. . . and none shine so bright as the acts of cruelty we sometimes perpetrate in our own families.” ― Stephen King
