May is Not Just For Flowers
Greetings!
This month YFC highlights the importance of healthy relationships.  Mother's Day, on May 10, can be a day of joy and celebration as children of all ages honor their mothers. 
But what about relationships that are struggling, not what you want them to be, or are represented by painful memories?  
Relationships of any kind can be difficult.  YFC's experienced therapists address relationship issues of any kind.  Visit our website for more information.

  • make people happier and ease stress
  • are realistic and flexible
  • mean sharing and talking
  • include self-care
  • use fair fighting techniques
