Parent Support Services
You’re Not Failing. You’re Just Fighting Alone — Until Now.
Who This Is For
Parents and caregivers of teens enrolled in our adolescent or marijuana education programs
Families navigating early signs of substance use, defiance, school issues, or emotional instability
Caregivers managing court mandates, behavioral contracts, or truancy referrals
Parents whose child has shut down, lashed out, or stopped responding altogether
Adults raising youth with trauma histories, system involvement, or identity struggles
Any caregiver who feels tired, scared, angry — or all three at once
What Makes ITG’s Parent Support Different
We Don’t Blame You
You haven’t failed. And you’re not alone. We offer a space where caregivers can speak honestly about what’s really going on — and get feedback without being shamed or dismissed.
We Focus on Connection Over Control
You can’t punish your way into your child’s heart. We help you shift from power struggles to connection — so your teen hears you, trusts you, and lets you in again.
We Teach What the Internet Can’t
Googling “how to help my teen” only gets you so far. We teach real skills: how to de-escalate, when to intervene, what to say (and not say), and how to care for yourself in the process.
We Speak Your Reality
Many of our families are navigating reentry, poverty, school systems that misunderstand them, or generational trauma. We get it — and we serve without judgment.

Common Caregiver Questions We Address
How do I set boundaries without pushing them away?
What if they won’t talk to me?
Should I take their phone? Call the police? Let it go?
How much of this is my fault?
What do I say when they blame me, curse at me, or ignore me?
