Parents of Children/Adolescents with Depression
In this group, a therapist and I identify and discuss how depression affects children and also their parents. We discuss how depression can affect school, home and a child or adolescent’s social environment. We guide parents on how to handle issues that come up with medication like side effects, appetite, sleep, emotional ups and downs, impulsivity, and academics. We will go over how to look for warning signs that depression might be worsening and what to do in those cases.

Parents of Children/Adolescents with ADHD
This is a group for parents of kids with ADHD who are on medication and who are not. We guide parents in dealing with the different issues that present for kids with ADHD. There are often issues with organization at home and school that can wreak havoc on a family. We also discuss issues with the inability to keep a routine, time management, keep up with academics, hygiene, nutrition, sleep and a very messy bedroom. We gather as a group so parents can support each other in their journey to walk beside their adolescent/child with ADHD.
