Advanced Family Growth after Treatment
Far too many families have completed an adolescent substance abuse treatment program asking, “Now what?” Many programs adequately address the adolescents’ drug use and decision-making, and fewer address coping skills when dealing with life challenges. However, once completing these programs families are left on their own to deal with the big unknown of how to address the pain and distrust the drug use has caused. As adolescents attempt to gain back their parents trust, the parents are still operating with fears, doubts, suspicions and hesitations; leaving the family disconnected, distrusting and frustrated.
Finally, there is an advanced follow-up, education and support program for when the traditional substance abuse treatment is completed! Coach Nakumbe’s Foundation for Change (CNFFC) serves families that want to proactively grow together but are experiencing internal dissention and larger potential problems. We are here to answer the post-treatment “now what?” questions that many families are facing. Ideally, we are an alternative to a more drastic solution. We at CNFFC believe that the “troubled” teen is only the result or symptom of deeper issues, family issues – and that is who we work with, THE FAMILY. Our mission is to help you rebuild or create your family unit/team resulting in a complete system that will operate as one.
Coach Nakumbe “The Family & Relationship Strategist” focuses on what the family needs and presents ways in which the family can take action; offering adolescents and parents an opportunity to have a non-judging space to talk, be listened to and validated as well as a place to repair and build on damaged or fragile relationships within the family. The benefits of your hard work will be balance in your home, harmony in your lives and a stronger family unit.
Through lecture, video, and guest speakers families will:
- Identify Strategies to overcome family problems
- Gain confidence in parenting abilities
- Learn to respond instead of react to your teen
- Improve communication with all family members
- Develop family values, a stronger family team & a plan for success
- Identify Healthy & Unhealthy Relationships
