Growing Up Grounded: Learning to cope with a parent who suffers from a mental illness - An art based workbook - Paperback

by Shelby Wynn (Author)

*May be utilized by clinicians in session or as a Take-Home workbook*

Has your parent or caregiver been recently diagnosed with a mental illness, or have you always felt that your home life was significantly different than your friends? First of all, don't worry, you are not alone. Of all the adults diagnosed (or not) with a mental illness, the majority of them are parents and little to no attention is paid to their children and how this diagnosis also affects their social/emotional development. There is very little literature, let alone a work book, made specifically for the child of a parent who suffers from mental illness! Utilizing a modified version of the Twelve Step Program, this book helps teens (and adults) work through each chapter/step at their own pace. . Allow me to take you on a creative journey that I wish I were exposed to as a child of a parent with a mental illness.
