The TOUGHLOVE
Program is
implemented through self-help Parent Support
Groups at weekly
meetings.
It offers crisis intervention for families being
torn apart by the
unacceptable adolescent behaviour of children,
whatever their age.
The weekly meeting of parents provides
practical
and emotional peer
support. Everyone supports everyone else as they
are able, even in a
crisis. Other people can support you at less
emotional cost than you
can support yourself; they can often see through
the
subjective relationship between parent and
child.
Support for each other's children is provided as
circumstances
require and allow. It can be direct or indirect
support, inside
or outside of the meeting structure. Ongoing
support throughout
the
week is available as required.
Meetings incorporate TOUGHLOVE literature
and
audio-visual
materials, which focus on creating and managing
positive change within
the family, together with the development of
self-responsibility for
all family members.
The Program provides the tools for assessing a
family's
crisis and a
structure for developing potential
solutions. Your experiences are
shared, corrective information is offered and
alternative behaviours
are suggested to replace actions that are no
longer working.
Non-judgemental support helps you put those
changes into place.
It works!
