Mental Health Resources for Parents
Free resources from Dr. Cam, Family Coach
Dr. Cam Ph.D. is a popular Adolescent Psychologist and Family Success Coach. In one of her free resource guides, called 10 Secrets to Raising Teens she says, “It may be difficult to believe, but when your teen is giving you attitude, rolling her eyes at you, or asking you to drop her off a block away from her friend’s house, she still needs your support and approval more than ever.”
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)
NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health. Today, they are an alliance of more than 600 local Affiliates and 48 State Organizations who work in your community to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available to those in need.
25% of all Tangled Up book proceeds in the month of May go to NAMI for National Mental Health Awareness Month!

The Truman Group
The Truman Group provides high-quality remote psychotherapy and mental health consultation to expatriates living around the world. We work with individuals, couples, families, and children in regions of the world that have few local English-speaking resources available for mental health.
Most of Truman Group's providers have either lived overseas themselves or have extensive experience treating people who have lived and worked internationally. In short, we understand both the joys and demands that accompany living in a foreign country and culture.
