Quite
often, when a family member is under stress, other family members
also find themselves faced with residual pressure. The old adage,
"You can't see the forest for the trees." certainly holds
true for many when they are in a pressured situation. FREND helps
clients that feel overwhelmed or stressed out put life's challenges
in perspective and find solutions to their problem so they can achieve
success in their professional and/or personal life.
