Counseling for Teen Depression
While it may seem that the carefree teenage years should be some of the best times of your child’s life, many teens find that depression impedes enjoyment of their adolescence.

Help for Teen Anorexia
If your teenager has anorexia, her treatment is likely to be challenging. Any sort of disorder that starts when a person is young is going to be difficult to treat and recover from, says Dr. David Schlager, psychiatry professor at Texas A & M University. Anorexia is particularly tough to treat. When a teen is severely underweight, she tends to have trouble concentrating and reasoning. With anorexics, typical 12-step programs probably won’t work because they require a person to acknowledge her illness, which many anorexic teens do not do. It is possible, even critical, to treat anorexia; a person can’t get over it on her own.

Starting a business doesn’t have to mean a brick-and-mortar operation, as there are plenty of businesses that you can run from home. If you don’t want to be your own boss, look to local businesses that will appreciate the years of practical experience you bring to the table.
