Resources

There are many informative resources available that may be helpful to you, your child and your family. I do not agree with everything stated within the websites and/or books. However, that said, I do think it is helpful to become educated on issues that are present in our own lives or the lives of our children, teens or families. Please consider the resources carefully and critically, with your own situation in mind. If you have any questions or concerns please discuss them with a qualified helping professional.
