A blended family can be a combination of many different scenarios. This can happen when two people marry each other when they both have already had children in other relationships, or when one person with kids marries another person without kids, regardless they are still a family. Blended families can experience difficulty when navigating the various parenting roles, especially when another parent from a previous relationship is still involved in the children’s lives.

Family counseling can help to explore any issues within the family and help to establish rules and boundaries when it comes to step-parents and co-parents who are divorced. Here at Riverview Medical Health Center, we are experienced in helping blended families overcome these issues and move forward as well-balanced and healthy families.

Addiction is one of the leading causes that families end up in counseling as it is extremely difficult to navigate alone. Any family member can be controlled by addiction and it will still affect everyone else in the family. Whether you or your loved one needs a support group or even an intervention, Riverview Community Health Center is here to support them. Addiction is very serious and should not be taken lightly regardless of the circumstances.

Riverview Community Health Center is dedicated to helping our patients feel like family. We hope that this article was helpful in answering any necessary questions or wandering thoughts surrounding family counseling.
