Coaching for Parents  of Troubled Adolescents – Family Coaching

By Craig Rogers TroubledTeenSearch is one of the originators of the parent coaching profession.  TroubledTeenSearch has been coaching parents for 10 years, setting our vision on creating the highest standards for parent coaching professionals. Through our innovative family coaching approach we are known to partner with parents and bring full restoration, hope, and stability to hurting families. An important part of our mission is to intentionally to promote effective, evidence-based strategies.  There are many "parent coaching" theories out there.  Our goal is to promote the strategies that work.   We exist to serve parents and families so they can positively impact their children in ways that count. Our goal is to positively affect "parenting" by promoting parent coaches that help parents to make positive parental decisions and restore the home environment × Environment
n.noun en·vi·ron·ment The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines environment as the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. A person’s environment, or social surroundings, have an enormous impact on the way that person thinks and operates. If a person is surrounded by negativity, he/she is more likely to replicate that negativity and display negative behaviors in other areas of life. The environment of a troubled teen can often be the root cause or factor in the troubled adolescent’s negative behavior. When an impressionable teenage boy or girl is surrounded by negative peers, it is common for these teens to develop negative behaviors themselves. It is for this reason that parents should be aware of their child’s social surroundings and environmental influences. If a teenage boy or girl is troubled, a total change in their environment may be in order. By replacing a troubled teen’s negative environment with that of a therapeutic, nurturing and rehabilitative environment, troubled adolescents are able to emotional, therapeutic and behavioral restoration.

Support / sup·port/ n. Noun Support is defined as the act or instance of supporting; serve as a foundation for something else. Support can be given to many different ways. Through the encouragement to perform and progress and also through being there for someone who needs help. Support is usually shown through family and peers but can come from anywhere from support centers, rehab centers, and treatment centers. Without a support, confidence would be very difficult to find. Support is key to getting through trials and problems. The ability to have someone that is supporting you and encouraging you to move forward and progress is important to growth and change. Especially with youth, that as they are trying to find out who they are that they feel supported in all of their doings. This is important because as support and encouragement is shown the youth feel confident to become the best they can be.
must shift dramatically.  Parents need information, advice, and coaching to adequately address issues facing families today. In addition to promoting parent coaches throughout the country we highly advice that parents seek those certified by Parent Coaching Institutes. PCI offers parent coaching services to moms and dads directly and through agencies, schools, and businesses. The PCI conducts on-going research studies with family support agencies. As a dynamic institute, PCI students and graduates gather regularly for retreats, workshops, and meetings to share ideas and co-create new projects, synergistically bringing the PCI Vision into reality.
