Why do I have do go to counseling if my child is the one who got into trouble?
In an official court-case disposition, the court may order a “child and parent(s) to participate in counseling,” if it is deemed necessary. All parties are bound by law to comply with court orders. [Parents that choose not to comply with a court order (counseling), at an unofficial court hearing, may not receive further court interventions, due to non-compliance.] Counseling is viewed by the court as a helpful tool, to enhance the family’s health and well being and therefore be a productive unit of society.
