How I Help Families With Legal Problems
How I Help Families With Legal Problems
All families face challenges; but the families who are involved with the criminal justice system are significantly more likely to experience overwhelming emotional difficulties.
Anger, shame, guilt, confusion and numbness may put family members at risk for clinical depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and impulsive behaviors. Children are particularly affected. Financial distress is also a likely consequence.

Even non-incarceration outcomes can have devastating consequences to family stability. Here are just a few of the issues that I have successfully helped families with:
- Managing separation from an incarcerated loved one
- Learning what to tell children and when
- Helping children to cope
- Understanding the different challenges for the loved one and others at home
- Learning how and why other family relationships and friendships may change
- Managing a break-up with a partner or spouse
- Finding helpful resources
- Addressing difficulties that arise when a loved one re-enters society and the home
I am effective in working with people who are having legal problems because clients and other family members find me to be non-judgmental, caring, practical and honest with them, during a most stressful time in their lives.
