Through MELA's counseling programs, both women and men who lost their children to the court systems because of substance use disorders or domestic violence, have had their children returned to them by working with our counselors to strengthen their own efforts. Clients learn how they can control their need to use drugs and/or alcohol which includes our teaching self-esteem, life skills, health education, social activities, business skills, parenting, anger management skills and MELA generally has a pot luck luncheon with all our programs upon a clients completion.
Parents are usually sent to MELA to help them learn how to best handle their children in all situations. It is not easy to be a parent and each child is unique and therefore must be cared for differently then their other children. Through this program, parents will learn the best approaches to take care of their child's needs.
There are times when anger becomes out of control and private patients will often come to MELA to learn how they can learn ways to control their anger. Their are clients sent from the court system to MELA so we may help provide ways they can learn to maintain control of their anger and give them alternatives behaviors.
