You don’t have to continue feeling this way
“THIS ISN’T WHAT I EXPECTED.”
No one is prepared for when life throws you curveballs. You may have thought of how wonderful your children’s lives would be and the great relationships you would have with them. You didn’t imagine your kids struggling, not fitting in, or anticipate the pain and fear of your children not being fully engaged in life. You didn’t expect to feel like you’re failing as a parent. Somehow you have found yourself feeling unsupported and bearing the weight of responsibility all on your shoulders. Or you may feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself and don’t know how to get it back.
The demands of parenting have changed. We live in a fast-paced world where children, adolescents, and young adults are constantly on social media, comparing themselves and their lives to others. Unable to meet these unrealistic expectations, many youth are increasingly becoming more lonely, anxious, and depressed. They are also constantly exposed to world events where wars, natural disasters, political strife, gun violence, and fears about safety persist. Let's face it: parenting can feel impossible. Not only are you trying to manage your stress but attempting to raise healthy, happy children is no easy feat.
“I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.”
Parenting can be one of the greatest joys and the most difficult of challenges. Whether you are parenting a toddler, teenager, or young adult, there are times when you can feel frustrated, scared, overwhelmed, and don't know what to do. This uncertainty can be exacerbated when you are caring for a loved one who has their own mental health needs (e.g. anxiety, depression, OCD) or is experiencing other types of struggles. You don't have to figure this out on your own.
Whether it is:
addressing underlying concerns and fears
examining feelings of inadequacy and guilt
not recognizing your strengths
or the need to develop skills

reduce your worries
