Dear Future Clients,

We started Solutions Parenting Support in 2014, when we each felt called to offer better support for you, parents, so that you can uncover the confidence and tools to navigate the tough terrain of raising struggling adolescents and young adults.

Utilizing our clinical backgrounds and experience with hundreds of families, our team has now spent over ten years helping parents like you build awareness and practice new strategies and new communication skills to shape the tone of your homes and relationships. Through this work we have defined The H.O.M.E. model, a concrete solutions-focused system that supports parents to Hone, Own, Master and Enact the skills essential for change. And, in 2023 we published the book “H.O.M.E.: Strategies for Making Home a Success during and after Treatment” as a way to offer strategies we have taught for decades to parents who might not be able to afford the in- depth work with our team.

We recognize that, just as it is difficult for youth who are participating in outpatient therapy or who are coming out of wilderness therapy, therapeutic boarding school or residential treatment to practice new habits consistently, the same is true for parents. Thus, our mission has been to guide parents through practical, direct and creative solutions so that you can sustain personal growth and effective parenting with confidence. This mission comes to life when parents engage in the HOME model to track the strengths based development and integration of skills, habits and routines. In 2023, as it became more and more challenging to find therapists and mentors locally who had availability, we responded to a myriad of requests from parents and professionals by adding two services: NextGen Coaching-coaching for tweens, teens and young adults (ages 11-28) and academic and executive functioning coaching. This shift is fundamental to our belief that, if we can offer more skilled support to parents and their children proactively, we can contribute to the success of families who stay intact, without the need to look toward out of home support for their struggling children.

In 2024, we collaborated to launch DearParentCoaches.com, a place for parents to ask questions, learn generalized parenting strategies and get support throughout their parenting journey.

Additionally, as of 2025, we are offering multifamily journeys into nature. In partnership with Breakwater Expeditions and Soltreks, we offer one trip each quarter for families who see the value in a week together away from the day-to-day grind; our intention is to help everyone infuse new perspective, confidence and connection into the family dynamic, to disconnect from the day-to-day in order to connect with nature and reconnect with each other.

Over time we have gathered an amazing group of highly trained and vetted coaches to support our vision of guiding families through this journey. The coaches who work with SPS are trained clinicians and have extensive careers in wilderness therapy, longer-term residential treatment, private practice or all of the above. That experience gives every coach on our team insight into the challenges families face before, during and after the treatment process.

Our commitment to our clients is:

• To provide individualized and effective guidance so you are not alone in your process of finding support for you and your family.
• To support you with building a handful of sustainable habits, focusing on solutions to help you get the lives you want.
• To walk alongside you, no matter your situation, as you hone, own, master and enact new habits to establish true change in your home
• To guide you toward the most effective ways to bridge and sustain the experience from a treatment setting back to your home environment.

We are here to help families thrive. The kids are the motivation and parents are the key.
