Uncover the Advantages of Parent Support Groups Today

Watching your teen go through mental health challenges can be difficult to navigate as a parent. You are aware that you can only help them so much, but over time, the guilt can build. Your need to help them make everything better can become overwhelming and challenging.

When this happens, finding a parent support group can be beneficial. While your teen gets support and treatment, you can also get emotional guidance and support. Learning how to best support your teen with their challenges and connecting with other parents in similar circumstances will help you better understand and connect with your teen.

At Clear Behavioral Health, we understand the benefits that parent support groups in Los Angeles, CA offer and include it in all of our teen mental health treatment programs.

How Parent Support Groups Help You

Parent support groups offer a lot of benefits. Having a space for parents to share what they are going through, where others can truly empathize with their feelings provides a healing space to feel less alone. You’ll not only listen to other group members but also be able to share about the struggles you’re facing.

Your teens have group therapy and peer support groups of their own within our treatment programs, and our parent support groups give the whole family a place to heal.

In these groups, you’ll learn how to manage your emotions, process what you may be going through, learn tangible coping skills, swap advice with other parents experiencing similar concerns, and even get tips on better communication with your teen.

How Parent Support Groups Help Your Teen

Attending a support group as a parent can help you stabilize emotionally, which will benefit you when interacting with your teen and their mental health challenges.

Having a safe space to unpack your feelings means you’ll have even more capacity for positive interactions with your child. You can also learn unique perspectives from other parents regarding handling conflict, different ideas for celebrating wins, how to provide emotional support, and parenting in general.

When parents are involved in their teen’s treatment but also working on themselves, it creates a different type of healing environment. Giving your teen the chance to grow and change while you gain support yourself is the greatest act of love.

    How Our Teen Mental Health Program Works



    What to Expect in Our Parent Support Groups

    Our parent support groups are held once a week, for a type of multi-family group therapy. The first part of the group is with all of the parents, teens, and treatment team. In the second half of the group’s therapy session, the parents and teen are split into separate groups and the parents can expand on what they went over in the joined group or engage in more parent-focused topics.

    Additionally, monthly family therapy with you and your teen is held where you can discuss progress, struggles, or issues you want to work through together. A more intimate session compared to the group ones, you and your teen can discuss interactions in the group you’d like to break down with a treatment provider.

    Methods Used in Parent Support Groups

    Parent support groups are valuable when it comes to teen mental health treatment because of all the supportive treatment methods that are available.

    • Communication workshops where you can work on how you communicate with your teen and manage your reactions in conversations.
    • Psychological education like learning how to manage emotions, working on changing thought patterns, and de-escalating stressful situations.
    • Model therapy sessions are a great way to gain insight into the experience your teen is having. This can also help with how you interact with therapists or anyone talking about sensitive topics with your teen.
    • Q&A between parents and their teens offers a space to have an open conversation and learn more about the treatment process.

    The Benefits of Parent Support Groups

    Getting involved with your teens treatment through parent support groups can yield a lot of positive benefits, including: 

    Improved Communication

    The structure of parent support groups presents an opportunity to improve your communication skills with not only your teen but with everyone else in your life. Seeing and hearing effective communication first-hand can translate to adopting healthier communication methods.

    Healthy Boundaries

    Setting healthy boundaries brings relief and a sense of control back into your life. Truly understanding when boundaries are needed and when they have to be abided by is a game-changer for parents and teens.  

    Parenting Skills

    Learning effective parenting skills will improve interactions when discipline has to be applied. Additionally, you’ll be able to understand how to support your teen in the way they need it most.

    Better Treatment Outcomes

    Parent involvement in the treatment process creates better outcomes for your teens. Not only does your teen feel supported, but you, as a parent, learn useful tools and can be hands-on with treatment.

        I can’t say enough good things about Clear Behavioral Health. The care that I received was exceptional. The staff are very professional and committed to providing outstanding treatment. They go out of their way to cultivate an atmosphere of compassion, awareness, and recovery.

        The multi-pronged approach; the counselors, individual therapy, nutrition, sympathetic/empathetic counselors of each group session shifted my brain paths. You are never finished there, even when you “graduate”, they hold alumni group sessions when you feel you need it. I have nothing but gratitude for their program.

        Clear Behavioral Health is my second family that I never knew I had that supported me and continues to passionately support the sober community. The therapists, counselors and group facilitators have been amazing in helping me have a voice, loving myself again, and seeing the world in a new light. I am eternally grateful.

        From the get go, the staff made me feel welcome and were all very friendly. My therapist and case manager were also very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. I found that the somatic therapy was the most valuable for me, the therapist who ran those groups was great. My biggest takeaway from treatment was to take the time to pause, not be afraid to ask for help, and not worry about things in the moment. If you are looking for meaningful change and being part of a new and supportive community, then Clear Behavioral Health is the right fit.

        Overall I loved the experience and did not want to leave. The staff was very helpful and motivated me to stay even when I felt like running away. I also built meaningful connections with my therapist and case manager who gave me a lot of useful advice and are still supporting me today. Since leaving, my family and sponsor have noticed a big difference, and I could not recommend a more supportive environment for addiction and mental health treatment, Clear saved my life.
