Our parent workshops are among the most highly regarded resources we offer to parents of teens in our care. These workshops take place during “parent weekends” on our campus, and many parents describe them as life-changing. Additionally, parents have the invaluable opportunity to connect with others who have faced similar struggles and experiences.

This session equips parents with empathy-driven, logical tools to reframe their responses to their children’s behaviors.
At Turning Winds, we understand that true transformation requires effort on both sides. While teens are immersed in therapeutic programs that promote emotional resilience and healthy decision-making, parents also need to adjust their parenting practices and approach, to fully support their teen’s reintegration to every day life. From setting limits without waging war to teaching responsibility with empathy. Parents fully immerse themselves in the process, building a foundation for a healthier home environment. They leave equipped to confront emotionally charged situations with confidence, ensuring they can support their teen’s journey to a new, positive lifestyle.
Returning home after residential treatment can be both exciting and challenging. Turning Winds’ workshops help parents anticipate potential hurdles, such as old triggers or peer pressure, and offer strategies to navigate these challenges effectively. By learning to support their teen’s healthy habits, parents create an environment that fosters continued growth.

Parents are reminded of the importance of prioritizing their own mental and emotional well-being. By taking care of yourself, you also ensure that you can provide a stable and nurturing environment for your struggling teen. It is even more important for parents with teens in treatment to use the time while the teenager is in the program to prioritize themselves. Your state of mind affects your ability to support, understand, and guide your teen during this critical time in their lives. Caring for yourself allows you to be the calm, supportive presence they will need when they return home after treatment. After all, you can’t pour from an empty cup!
Parenting a teenager can be emotionally demanding, especially when your child is navigating behavioral or mental health challenges. In the midst of supporting their teens, many parents forget an essential truth: taking care of themselves is just as important as caring for their children.
In this insightful article, The Importance of Self-Care for Parents, Psychology Today explores how prioritizing self-care can help parents build resilience, maintain emotional stability, and model healthy behaviors for their teens. Discover practical strategies to recharge, stay grounded, and support your family with greater strength and clarity. Read the full article here.

No, these workshops are exclusively available to parents of teens currently enrolled in treatment at Turning Winds. The workshops are designed to complement the therapeutic work their teens are undergoing, ensuring that parents gain tailored tools and insights to support their family’s unique journey. If your teen is in treatment with Turning Winds, registration details will be provided directly by your treatment team.
While teens receive therapeutic tools during treatment, these parenting workshops bridge the gap by equipping parents with the skills needed to support their child’s progress at home. Skills like setting healthy boundaries, communicating effectively, and de-escalating conflict are key. Because family dynamics play a crucial role in a teen’s long-term success, these workshops help parents gain a deeper understanding of their own parenting patterns, build healthier connections with their teens, and align with the therapeutic strategies being implemented during treatment.
This unified approach empowers both parents and teens, fostering lasting positive change for the whole family.
Our mission is to rescue teens from crisis, renew their belief in their own potential and reunite them with their family and a sustainable path of success.
