Hand-to-Hand
Hand-to-Hand is a nine week education program designed to foster learning,
healing and empowerment among parents and families of children with
emotional-mental-neurobiological disorders. Along with other families of
children and teens who share many of your same concerns, you will learn about
major depression, bipolar disorder, childhood schizophrenia, ADHD, obsessive
compulsive disorder and anxiety disorder, among others.
You will receive up to date information about medications, side-effects, and
problems with medication compliance, the biological basis of mental illnesses,
treatment options and recovery. Understanding special education needs and
working with the juvenile justice system is addressed in separate classes. The
program's dual focus on education and personal insight provides a comprehensive
service for coping parents.
Attend with other family members just like you in a confidential setting.
Learn how families unite together against these disorders. Learn about the
biology of the brain and about current research. Feel the comfort with others
who will not see you as dysfunctional families, but families who have children
with special needs.
