PA Parent and Family Alliance: Setting Boundaries Without Battles: A Guide for Parents of Teens & Young Adults

Hosted by PA Parent and Family Alliance.

Ever feel like setting boundaries with your teen or young adult who struggles with mental health or behavior challenges turns into a power struggle or leaves you feeling drained? You’re not alone. Boundaries are hard, especially when your child deals with anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, or other challenges—but they don’t have to lead to a meltdown (theirs or yours).

Join PA Parent and Family Alliance for a free training designed specifically for parents like you—parents raising kids who need extra support, structure, and understanding. You’ll learn:

• How to set boundaries without guilt or escalating conflict
• What to say when they push back (without shutting down or giving in)
• How to balance structure and flexibility for better communication and trust

This isn’t just for parents of teens—if your young adult still leans on you for support, these strategies will work for them, too! Because setting boundaries with a child who struggles isn’t about control—it’s about creating a safe, respectful, and supportive relationship. 

The PA Parent and Family Alliance offers one-of-a-kind, FREE resources for parents whose children are experiencing mental health challenges.
