Description:
Cool Family
Solutions gets to the heart of the family mental health issues that have
them
desperate.
What we help them to do is
learn concrete skills:
How to approach the ill
family member about their illness
Help ill family member
take responsibility for own health
Support ill family
member without enabling,
Set “ self care” habits
to help caregiver reclaim own life
Form a family plan to
manage ongoing cyclical episodes of the illness
.
The way we do that is coaching
through online journaling, conference calls, family meetings
and skype.
My take on the situation is if
families do not deal with the existing problems, relationships
may go beyond being repaired
and incur losses too painful to handle that can lead to harmful
consequences.

1.
Complete an
online assessment to determine problem area(s)
