The Rohde Family
A Yearlong Journey From Conflict to Connection
Description
Join us for a live interview of the Rhode Family. Their 17-year-old son, Noah, who had already experienced years of therapy, IOP programs and residential, was essentially incapacitated. He had dropped out of high school, rarely left his bedroom, communicated with peers only online, had not bathed in years, was hostile toward his parents, would become dysregulated (yell, kick, and throw things) if asked to do anything differently, and refused to attend his family therapy sessions. Today, Noah is well-regulated, has graduated from high school, started community college, bathes regularly, is getting his driver’s license, and has a much closer relationship with his parents. Curious how all of this happened? Come to the conference and find out.
