PRAIRIE

SCHOOL RELATED CONCERNS

Learning disabilities, giftedness, and stress can all contribute to a student's inability to perform optimally. Often times, failing grades or excessive absences signal a problem and, by that time, damage to the child's self-esteem and their relationship with parents and teachers has usually occurred.

PFT works very closely with parents, educational consultants and local schools to make sure that students are appropriately supported and served. Additionally, we understand the complexities of families who deal with chronic medical conditions or have children with special needs, providing services in both home and school.

COVID SUPPORT

Collectively, we've been through SO much in recent years, and many continue to feel the impact of COVID.

Prairie Family Therapy is a safe space for frontline workers, those diagnosed as "long haulers," as well as people whose lives were significantly changed by the pandemic.

Whether you're struggling with lingering physical &/or emotional challenges, navigating losses, or feeling like your experiences are invalidated by your outside world, we're here to support you.

When a family member suffers from a significant issue that requires treatment outside of the home, the whole family is impacted. Individual treatment success is directly linked to the involvement of significant relationships in treatment. Family sessions focus on processing anger and fear, reorganizing family expectations and routines, and making adjustments prior to discharge that may be needed to ensure a successful outcome.

Our therapists have training and experience working with family systems that are affected by addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and chronic illness. Using encrypted technology, our offices are equipped to collaborate with families and treatment facilities before, during, and after a family member is admitted to an inpatient or residential treatment program.

Ideally, divorce negotiates a resolution that works for everyone, but getting there is hard work! Separating spouses must navigate emotional and physical separation while remaining attached to their parenting roles. Children often get caught in the wake, lacking the emotional maturity to manage their own adjustment successfully.
