TITLE: “Not by Chance: How Parents Boost Their Teens Success, In and Out of Treatment”
SPECIAL GUEST: Dr. Tim Thayne
www.notbychance.com and www.homewardbound.com
Dr. Tim Thayne joins our audience to discuss how struggling teenagers with addictions, learning disabilities, or emotional/behavioral issues have brought their parents to a moment of decision. Heartsick, anxious, and exhausted, questions bounce endlessly around in a parent’s mind, “Will this work? Was this really necessary? Will she or he ever forgive me? Can we handle him at home when the time comes?”
Dr. Thayne delivers the answers in his groundbreaking book Not by Chance. As an owner/therapist of wilderness and residential programs, Thayne was frustrated when young people made monumental progress, only to return home where things quickly unraveled. His mission became to vastly improve long-term success by crafting and proving a model to coach parents on their power to lead out through full engagement during treatment and management of the transition home.
Not by Chance engages readers through solid research, simple exercises, and captivating stories taken from Thayne’s own life and the living rooms of hundreds of American homes. This book serves up concrete tools, hope, confidence, and stamina for families, professionals and mentors.
