We are so excited to be able to partner with Flourish, a local mentoring program for teen girls. Our associate therapist, Amie Martin, LMSW will be providing counseling for their participants who need mental health services. Amie is available for appointments at our Fairhope location for children, teens, and moms in need of perinatal mental health support.

We are happy to welcome Amie Martin as our grant coordinator and counseling partner through Joy Works to the flourish team!🩷

Amie says “Flourish has created a beautiful vision to create community and support teen girls. With over 20 years of experience working with families, I have learned prevention, education and safe places are key to equipping teens for adulthood. I am excited to be a small part to support your mission. I am glad we have this service in our area!”

“Parents often stress about the conflicts they are experiencing with their children, but our study suggests conflicts are manageable so long as children experience warmth from their parents at some point during the same day.”

New study by the Yale Child Study Center shows that parents can reduce the effects of inevitable conflict with their teens by demonstrating emotional warmth

How interesting! A new study pointing towards brain changes during adolescence that causes teens to focus on new, unfamiliar voices.

New Study- Brain activity of teens starts to change at around age 13, making them tune out parents’ voices in favor of unfamiliar voices.
