Parental Support in Topeka

Parent Support

Supporting the whole family

When children live with mental health challenges, it affects the whole family, including parents. Family Services & Guidance Center provides parental support in Topeka, offering the assistance and encouragement parents need to help plan their child’s treatment (as well as participate in ongoing treatment). The service trains and supports parents as they use new skills and strategies they learned during their child’s treatment.
