passion

psychological backup. The therapy is the primary service offering
families options to solve problems, deal with crisis early, and live
safely together in their community.

and documentation support. CSI’s President, Frank

An excerpt of the referenced article...
(CNN) - It's difficult for
parents to know if their child is a bully or a bully's victim. Children
will not tell you, so you need to be tuned in to your child every day.
You can pick up on subtle clues, but this takes time and a certain
amount of luck. Bad things can happen to children even if the parents
do everything right.
Parents can recognize victimization the easiest. Children who are
victimized show sudden shifts in behavior, such as getting poor grades
after receiving good grades in the past. They may exhibit "Mondayitis,"
seeming sad and making excuses not to go to school, or if they're
young, they may cry.
