Clarity Catalyst
For Parents of At-Risk Youth
The Clarity Catalyst Course is based on a Stanford University master’s program developed in 1979 to cultivate creativity, emotional intelligence, and authentic self-expression.
This powerful 8-week self-discovery course (taught in person or live online) gives parents a clear framework for staying grounded, communicating effectively, and leading their family through hard seasons with clarity and strength.
As a parent of an at-risk child or teen, you are under constant emotional pressure. This program is designed to support you, so you can better support them.
If you are ready to
Stop living in constant reactivity, anxiety, and guilt, and start responding to your child from calm, grounded clarity
-
Understand your own triggers and patterns, so you don’t pass them on or escalate conflict at home
-
Communicate with your child in a way that invites trust, honesty, and real conversation (even when they’re pushing you away)
-
Set healthy, loving boundaries that protect your peace while still staying deeply connected
-
Be part of a community of parents who get it and aren’t shocked by what you’re dealing with
...then the Clarity Catalyst for Parents of At-Risk Youth is for you.
In this 8 week program you will
-
Get clear on who you are as a parent and what kind of home environment you want to create, even in the middle of chaos.
-
Build emotional regulation tools so you can manage fear, anger, and exhaustion instead of dumping it on your child or partner.
-
Rewrite and reprogram limiting beliefs like “I’ve failed as a parent” or “Nothing I do makes a difference” into healthier, more accurate narratives.
-
Strengthen your communication skills so you listen more deeply, speak more effectively, and de-escalate tense situations.
-
Work with fear instead of being run by it, so you can make decisions from wisdom, not panic.
-
Reconnect to your own purpose, values, and inner compass, so you model resilience and self-respect for your child.
-
Belong to a tribe of parents who will stand with you, hold you high, and remind you that you’re not alone in this.
You’ll leave with a clear, practical blueprint for how you want to show up as a parent, plus tools to tap into your intuition and creative problem-solving so you can navigate the system, the schools, and the daily fires with more strength and less shutdown.
