Mental Health & The Family Text size Print

Life is a series of evolutions and each one has its own stresses and challenges. In this section, you will find insights and information designed to help people through some of the more stressful life changes.

Being a parent can be one of life’s most joyous experiences. At the same time, parenting can cause strain and tension, not to mention sleep deprivation! Here, you’ll find ways to cope with the demands and rewards of being a parent.

Going through a separation or divorce is painful for everyone in the family. Parents, though, have the additional responsibility of reassuring and safeguarding the emotional well-being of their children. We offer insights and suggestions for the whole family.

The transformation from child to caregiver for aging parents can be very difficult. As people live longer, more children face dilemmas about how to best care for their elderly parents. Feelings of guilt, anger and frustration are common. Here, you’ll find advice, information and resources on these issues.
