PARENT COACHING

At Lumen, we understand that transitions can be just as challenging for parents as they are for the young adults we serve. To support the whole family during this time of growth, we offer scheduled parent coaching sessions by phone.

Early in the transition process, parents are connected with an independent coach partnered with Lumen. This coach provides guidance, encouragement, and practical tools to help parents navigate the shift from supporting a dependent young adult to fostering interdependence—and ultimately, independence.

The Parent Coach supports families by empowering parents to shift from a role of direct provider to one of supportive partner. They help parents gain confidence in their young adult’s growing independence, offering tools to reduce anxiety and reshape old patterns. Parent coaching also strengthens communication, deepens family connection, and provides guidance through the emotional and relational shifts that occur during this transition.
