Welcome to The KrazyGirl Parent Survival Guide (KGPSG)

“It was the dead of winter when fourteen-year-old Courtney ran away from home. She snapped and rushed from the house in the middle of a family movie night, during a raging snowstorm, after dark in her socks. Thankfully, her older sister hauled her back home and when they returned 20 agonizing minutes later, it was clear that Courtney needed help. Her depression and anxiety were no longer “typical teen angst,” and her symptoms weren’t going to just go away.”

Any parent who has stayed up until sunrise, frantically searching the internet about their child’s severe mood swings, suicidal thoughts, or other concerning behaviors will surely welcome this easy-to-understand and practical guidebook. Written from three unique and interconnected vantage points: Marci- a seasoned therapist and warrior mom, Courtney- a sensitive teen growing up in the social media spotlight, and from an inspiring selection of leading medical and wellness professionals, The KrazyGirl Parent Survival Guide provides the deep understanding and meaningful advice necessary to move beyond the pain and confusion that accompany mental illness.

This unique and valuable manual is the definitive compass and roadmap forward-out of the darkness toward a lifetime of satisfying and sustainable mental health and wellness.
