Parents and caregivers are deeply needed in their children’s lives. Your love and support are crucial. At Aspen, we are committed to involving parents in all our work with children and teens, providing the knowledge, support and connections to help themselves and their children through all challenges.
When a child is struggling, it’s easy for parents to feel terribly overwhelmed and isolated. At one time or another, all parents have felt confusion, guilt, sadness, hurt, and anger. Unfortunately, these feelings can create doubt about one’s parenting abilities, leading to overreaction or paralysis.
Our goal is to assist parents in becoming approachable, calm, informed and realistic. Toward that end, we provide education and resourcing, counseling as needed, and mutual support and networking through connection with other parents.
