Safeguard Parental Rights / Responsibilities
 

Parents are closest to their children and their challenges which puts them best position to ensure their wellbeing. Parents have the fundamental right / responsibility to make decisions regarding the upbringing, education and care of their children. Individuals may have attractions they desire to understand, accept, moderate or change and there must be options for families and individuals to seek counseling to address these issues. Licensed medical professions should not be removed from the process of helping people work through their physical, mental and emotional struggles.
