Dr. Tim Thayne Speaks at Ironwood Maine Family Weekend
MORRILL, Maine (PRWEB) August 06, 2018 -- Ironwood Maine, a licensed and accredited Residential Therapeutic School for struggling teens in Maine, welcomed Dr. Tim Thayne, author of the book Not By Chance, to its summer, family weekend. Dr. Thayne spoke about the keys to boosting family success in and after treatment.
While speaking to the more than 60 parents of Ironwood Maine residents, Dr. Thayne said that positive outcomes flow from thoughtful engagement, while knowing and avoiding the parental traps, tests and triggers. Dr. Thayne added that there should be, “no more rolling of the dice,” as Ironwood families want to do whatever they can to make things better with the ones they love the most. Dr. Thayne affirmed Ironwood Maine’s principles to family success: unity, cooperation and alignment.
Ironwood Maine’s family weekends offer a unique opportunity for family members of Ironwood residents to see first-hand how far they and their loved ones have come and what can be done next to achieve family success. Family weekend offers incredible opportunities for growth and learning, around the beautiful Ironwood Maine campus in Morrill, Maine. Ironwood Maine residents and their family members have a chance to problem solve and better understand their unique perspectives over a weekend, free from the distractions and responsibilities back home.
Wes Horton, Ironwood Maine’s President, said of Dr. Thayne’s presentation at Family Weekend, “We appreciate Dr. Thayne’s presentation at Ironwood that was so very relevant for parents wanting to do all that they can during and after their loved one’s time at Ironwood. Not By Chance is an important book that we hope every Ironwood parent will read as part of their role in this therapeutic process.”
