Description

Parenting today is not easy.

Parents, as well as children, are facing tougher demands than ever before. These demands and pressures lead children to feel angry, anxious, insecure, upset, shameful and more. This is where Internal Family Systems (IFS) comes in.

IFS is one of the fastest growing and effective treatment techniques used by mental health professionals today. Thousands of clinicians already trust IFS in their work to help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and other mental health conditions.

But, what if you could use these same techniques in parenting? IFS is an amazing tool for helping children succeed and parents to be less stressed.
