"I Hate You!"

These are words you never dreamed you'd hear from your own child.

You are not alone. There is help.

Are you experiencing any of the following extreme behavior problems with your teen?

• Severe disrespect
• Running away
• Drug & alcohol abuse
• Truancy
• Failing grades
• Violence
• Suicidal thoughts

The Loudoun Family Connections program will give you the tools to take charge of your home again.

You and your teen start the program by participating in a seven-week, multi-family group called "Managing Your Difficult Teen."

Managing Your Difficult Teen is a step-by-step roadmap that will help you establish authority and reclaim love. Concrete strategies that have proven results are taught by professional counselors and volunteers.

The success of the program is due in part to the parent and teen volunteers who can offer support from their own experiences. Complete the following four easy steps to find out if Family Connections is a good fit for your family.

Program fee: Family Connections is only offered to Loudoun County residents. A one-time fee of $60 pays for the seven-week Managing Your Difficult Teen program, voluntary participation in the Alumni Group (graduates of the program sharing experience and providing support), and individual family counseling, if desired.
