Dear Future Clients,

We started Solutions Parenting Support in 2014, when we each felt called to offer better support for you, parents, so that you can uncover the confidence and tools to navigate the tough terrain of raising struggling adolescents and young adults.

Utilizing our clinical backgrounds and experience with hundreds of families, we have now spent over ten years helping parents like you build awareness and practice new strategies and new communication skills to shape the tone of your homes and relationships. Through this work we have defined the H.O.M.E. model, a concrete solutions-focused system that supports parents to Hone, Own, Master and Enact the skills essential for change.

We recognize that, just as it is difficult for youth who are participating in treatment or who are coming out of wilderness therapy, therapeutic boarding school or residential treatment to practice new habits consistently, the same is true for parents. Thus, our mission is to guide parents through practical, direct and creative solutions so that you can sustain personal growth and effective parenting with confidence. This mission comes to life when parents engage in the HOME model to track the strengths based development and integration of skills, habits and routines.

In 2023, as it became more and more challenging to find therapists and mentors locally who had availability, we responded to a myriad of requests from parents and professionals by adding two services: coaching for young people (ages 11-28) and academic and executive functioning coaching. This shift is fundamental to our belief that, if we can offer more skilled support to parents and their children proactively, we can contribute to the success of families who stay intact, without the need to look toward out of home support for their struggling children.

Over time we have gathered an amazing group of highly trained and vetted coaches to support our vision of guiding families through this journey. The coaches who work with SPS are trained clinicians and have extensive careers in wilderness therapy, longer-term residential treatment or both. That experience gives every coach on our entire team insight into the challenges families face before, during and after the treatment process. We strive to provide individualized and effective guidance and tools so you are not alone in your process of finding the right support for you and your family.

We will walk alongside you as you attempt to implement resources to establish true change in your home or support you while your child is in treatment to educate and make the most effective changes during this invaluable period.

We can teach and guide you as to the most effective ways to bridge and sustain the experience from a treatment setting back to your home environment.
