MindForTherapy is now partnering with the Center for Children and Families to promote the work of the Family Systems Institute. I now have the opportunity to integrate my passion and work into the online presence that MindForTherapy has to offer.  New pages have been added that detail the approach, services, and philosophy of this systemically oriented treatment center.  The work primarily focuses on the treatment of children and youth that are at-risk because of abuse, neglect, or delinquent behavior. The treatment programs are highly successful and now the focus of researchers in the field of family therapy.

For the last 6 years I have worked at The Center for Children and Families in Monroe, LA to provide family therapy to impoverished families that are involved with the social system or justice system. We have just recently established the Family Systems Institute.  Our goal is family preservation and to promote safe enviroments for children. We work to disintangle families from the social systems that seem to rip them apart at the seams. Its a great place. Lots of like minded family therapists and an administrative team that is commited to a systemic mind set.

Awsome post...

Parents are more likely to be rejecting, disengaged, authoritarian, and inconsistent when they are in unhappy relationships. Marriage problems create a general negative mood in the home that spills over into the parents' relationships with their children. A parent who is already irritated with his significant other is likely to blow up when one of his children misbehaves.

When couples are fighting, they also are unable to support each other as parents. Parents who work well together give each other feedback about their parenting. Often one parent understands some aspect of the child's behavior that the other does not. When one parent is being unreasonable or has overly high expectations for the child, the other parent can point this out. Happy married couples reach a consensus about their children and how best to parent them. When parents are fighting, feedback usually is taken as criticism. The child can become another topic to fight about or another example of the different ways in which the partners see the world. http://www.newportpsychotherapy.com/psychology_topics/effects_distressed_relationships_families.html
