Help for Troubled Teens in Springfield, IL
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 Springfield, IL
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.

Aspiration Quote “In books I have traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might aspire to, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself. More powerfully and persuasively than from the "shalt nots" of the Ten Commandments, I learned the difference between good and evil, right and wrong. A Wrinkle in Time described that evil, that wrong, existing in a different dimension from our own. But I felt that I, too, existed much of the time in a different dimension from everyone else I knew. There was waking, and there was sleeping. And then there were books, a kind of parallel universe in which anything might happen and frequently did, a universe in which I might be a newcomer but was never really a stranger. My real, true world. My perfect island.” ― Anna Quindlen
