Strengthening Families Through Communication and Trust

More than half of all marriages end in divorce or separation, which can be devastating for everyone involved. It is the mission of Family Renewed to create healthy families who are thriving, not just surviving!

Depression and anxiety in children and adults are a reality for many today, especially when you consider the fallout from the pandemic. With approximately 13% of children (ages 8–15) and 25% of adults experiencing a severe mental illness, you or someone you know is struggling, and that struggle is not in isolation. Everyone in and around that person is impacted one way or another, and the ripple effect can be massive, destroying families in its path. And with all the negativity and misinformation around, it can be hard to just catch your breath, let alone take time to smell the roses. So, if you are tired of feeling frustrated, fractured, or filled with friction and want you and your family to be renewed, restored, and revived, you have come to the right place.

Although our high-tech, fast-paced society provides many conveniences, it creates even more distractions.  The ABCs of Family Resiliency TM provides six simple strategies to help families flourish despite these daily diversions..

Changing Your Narrative Starts With You!    

We all want a lot of things in life, but we aren’t always willing to make the necessary adjustments to get us there. What is it that you want, and what is keeping you from getting it?

Accepting that no one gets a pass in life, Family Renewed Workshops and Retreats encourage each of us to recognize our issues and triggers and learn strategies to help us navigate this journey called life.
