Parent
Coaching & Groups

Are you a parent of a child (including an adult child) exploring gender identity, having challenges with self-regulation, anxiety, sensory processing and/or ADH/executive function?  Perhaps your family is adjusting to your child's gender exploration and/or transition, or you are seeking to better understand your child's behavior.  Merrimack River Wellness provides a safe and supportive environment to explore and process these challenges.

​
