Difficult MotheringClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, PhD (she, her)

About

Are you the mother of an adult child who is suffering with serious mental illness, substance use disorder, or both. Your needs are often overlooked by mental health professionals, even though, you too are affected by your child's situation. Start taking care of yourself, as well as your adult child. Join a support group, offered online for 10 weeks. Research has demonstrated that being in a support group with other people who are in "the same boat" is the most effective way to cope. Being the parent of an adult child who has schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disease, or substance use disorder is isolating and very hard!
