Family Struggles
A loving, supportive family can play an huge role in a child’s life, but at times it can be turbulent. Every family is different, and when ups and downs occur, children can experience them differently; they may fight with their siblings, withdraw into their rooms, or have trouble adjusting to new family circumstances.
Some issues might include:
Parental Conflict or Divorce
Parental Substance Abuse or Addiction
Mental Health Issues in Parents and Siblings
Domestic Violence or Abuse
Loss of a Family Member (Death, Separation, or Absence)
Changes in Family Structure (New Partners, Moving, Etc.)
Illness or Disability in the Family
