Tom can work side by side with your youth to break through his/her communication barriers, help the youth understand why the parents created a change in their relationship to their child and started laying down more rules. Part of Tom’s program is to motivate the youth into believing abstinence, law abiding, and employment are more socially acceptable than they think, and even cool.
Communication:
Breaking through the generation and culture gap and speaking in language the youth understand
Teaching the youth how to communicate back with the family and express their truths properly.
Motivation:
Motivating youth into realizing employment, adequate sobriety, and different friends can actually be socially cool, and more profitable.
Helping the youth find what drives their passion, so they stop directing passion inwards and into intense partying to meet their needs.
Safe Place:
Serve as a safe place for youth to relate their innermost thoughts and secrets, so they can get it out.
Serve as a person to turn to when upcoming crises may unfold
Tom is the first person to understand me. He is also able to make going to school, getting a job and earning money make sense to me. Before I thought having fun negated all that, now I see I can do all the above. My parents were not the right people for that lesson, thank you Tom, will call you when I’m rich, I have stopped drinking, but probably won’t go completely sober while listening to music and playing pool. Whatever…
