If you, or someone you know is experiencing difficulty with a teen this site can help you.This can serve as a point of
reference for you in understanding the severity of the problems your teen is currently facing. Sometimes the problems are
so severe that they can only be properly addressed by getting professional help in a controlled environment, such as a residential
center, treatment program or specialty school. Other times problems can be resolved right in the home by setting better limits
and tightening up the basic family rules and structure.

Our Mission
Clearly Understanding The Rules
If your rules are not clearly understood, it leaves a lot of room for misunderstandings,
conflicts and even manipulations. Many times parents assume that their teen understands the rules the same way they are intended.
For example, if you tell your teen to be home early, their interpretation of 'early', and yours, may be drastically different.
If you tell your teen to clean their room, their idea of a "clean room" and yours may be miles apart. For these
reasons, rules need to be very specific. To avoid misunderstanding, it is a good policy to have your teen write down or repeat
back their understanding of any rule or expectation.
