Books

I have several books in my office that cover a large variety of topics including divorce, grief, friendship issues, self-esteem and bullying. Often a book can be a great way for a parent to discuss a delicate topic with their child. They help to open up the lines of communication! Please feel free to call and see if I have a resource that could help your family.
