Measuring Progress Through Our Program
Before starting the Cool Family Solutions 10-week session, family members complete the Checklist of Characteristics of Family Dynamics. By the fifth week, participants revisit the checklist to assess their progress. Many are surprised to find they check off fewer items, recognizing that they feel less helpless, hopeless, and frustrated.
A Personal Journey of Growth
In 1995, our family faced similar challenges while supporting a loved one. We felt hopeless and helpless, navigating a slow and steady process of trial and error over seven years. It wasn’t a quick fix—it was a painful journey of learning what worked and changing what didn’t. However, the rewards have been immense, providing us with tools that continue to help us through challenging times.
Transforming Families Through Practical Tools
Imagine dedicating 20 hours to learning effective tools, practicing them weekly, and sharing your experiences with a supportive group. This process has made a 91% difference for families, empowering them to flourish instead of feeling overwhelmed and helpless.
Join Our Next Session
We have 10 spaces available in our upcoming 10-week session. If you have questions or want to learn more about the process before starting, we encourage you to reach out.
