STAR - Center Parent Support Groups

_

Parent Education and Support Groups STAR-Center provides a monthly parent psychoeducational group, “Parents as Partners” for our outpatient families, to teach parents about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of depression.

Additionally, we offer a weekly parent psychoeducation group to parents with teens being treated at the STAR Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).

Parents as Partners

  •  Parents learn about the causes, expected course, and treatments for depression.

  • Depression is discussed as an illness that occurs, not a condition that is “someone’s fault.”

  • Parents also discuss, with a trained professional to what extent usual expectations at home and at school should be adjusted in light of their child’s depression.

  • For more information on these services, please contact the STAR Clinic at 412-246-5619.
