Troubleshooting
Coaching involves Dr. Andrews meeting with adoptive or foster parents for a brief period of time to assist with troubleshooting
parenting challenges unique to adoptive and foster families. Coaching is not therapy, but instead provides practical “tools for the parenting toolbox.” Coaching can focus on such issues as behavior challenges, loss and grief, multicultural challenges, and trauma-informed parenting techniques.
Pre-Adoptive Coaching - Offers guidance
to individuals, parents, and children going through the adoptive process for the
first time.
Referrals
Coaching also involves referring parents and their children to other qualified professionals such as licensed therapists, occupational therapists, testing psychologists, and psychiatrists.
