Frequently Asked Questions

FIRST, sign up for the free newsletter that can be accessed immediately. Future newsletters will be linked with your per-mission quarterly to the email you provide. The newsletter offers pertinent information geared towards parents of children aged 3-18 from a variety of professional educators and therapists. Relevant questions and answers and upcoming classes are also posted in the newsletter.

SECOND, sign up for a Parent Help Live online membership. There are many benefits to the membership that can help parents throughout their child-rearing years. (see question 2 for listed benefits). Just click ―sign up‖ on the home page and choose the monthly membership that best meets your needs.

THIRD, consider filling out the questionnaire if you have specific or pressing concerns that you would like to discuss with a licensed psychologist or therapist. One of our experts will contact you within 48 hours to set up an appointment and ad-vise you on the route you should take with your concerns. Most often, the expert will advise the parent to proceed with one of the following: a one time counseling session, weekly sessions for six weeks, direct you to the membership classes or outside resources.

As a member, you will receive email notifications for the upcoming class for that week. All you need to do is follow the link in that email to register – this takes less than a minute! Once you have registered, you will receive an email reminder prior to the class and you just “click” on it to get to the class. A window will pop up on your screen and the speakers will start promptly at the designated time. Try to get on the call early to insure you don’t miss any important information!

 

Experienced therapists and psychologists that specialize in chil-dren are very difficult to find and there is often a long waiting list for those that are in practice. Phone therapy allows peo-ple from any region of the United States to access quality therapists in the comfort of their own home. Parents are able to access experts within days and not have to wait the typical 4-6 week delay to address their concerns. Time saved driving to and from therapy is an added benefit – the session or session(s) are scheduled at a convenient time for the parent.

After reviewing your completed form, your professional consultant may recommend phone therapy or may recommend other services de-pending on your situation. There are no ―cookie-cutter‖ answers here and we do our best to fit your needs. If we believe your needs are better met by going to a counselor in person, we would be happy to refer you local therapists that may be able to meet your needs. However, many times a parent can get their needs met via phone therapy for a variety of con-cerns (see ―What are the benefits to phone therapy for parents‖ – next question).

We are experienced in treating a wide variety of issues for parents working with their children, such as attention problems at school and at home, behavior concerns, homework difficulties, compliance issues, sibling rivalry, learning difficulties, building self esteem, advocacy and information to work with schools, adjusting to divorce or death, or a move. We also help support parents that are feeling overwhelmed; need help with order and schedules for their children, or just need to vent!

The experts that provide educational classes have had a minimum of 10 years experience as an educator, psychologist, pediatrician, or other licensed professional. All vitas for that educator are provided prior to the class along with the topic information on the membership site.
