FOR YOUTH WHO DROP OUT:

Parent and individual support is provided to construct a “Plan B” and to assist the young person to get back on track or access more treatment support.

FOR ADULTS:

Carol provides assistance in personal relationship, family, and workplace problems. For those unable to find or maintain employment, she develops a step-by-step transition plan.

She also offers organization and management consultation with individuals who own a business or struggle in professional or corporate management positions.

Professional development for business groups or organizations can focus on:

• Time management and organization in the workplace
• Communication skills in the workplace
• Handling stress and "workplace politics"

While the coaching model is most helpful for many people, others prefer to work just with the handbook. Both options are easy to set up: PURCHASE HANDBOOK OR CONSULTATION
