COLORADO SPRINGS, Jan. 22 /Standard Newswire/ -- January 24th has for several years been called the "Most Depressing Day of the Year". Travel companies capitalize on the news to lure people away to exotic locations for a much needed "break". But international family organization Focus on the Family has a better answer: use the January slump not to ignore problems, but rather address them at their root causes. This month through www.TroubledWith.com, Focus on the Family is helping families fight the "January Blues" with practical help, advice, resources and counseling.

Life stressors such as debt, relationships, career, addictions and failed goals magnify themselves at the beginning of any year. The looming prospect of another twelve months of loneliness, hopelessness and failure can undermine even the strongest individuals and families. By recognizing problems and then setting goals to tackle them with sound strategies and a network of support, one's chances of success and resulting emotional health increase exponentially.

Dr. Bill Maier, vice-president and psychologist in residence at Focus on the Family, says that the New Year is a great time for an "emotional and relational inventory." "Many Americans are looking for a 'quick fix' for their personal and relational problems," he says. "But too often, problems like smoking, overeating, or marital conflict are symptoms of much deeper emotional issues."

Focus on the Family plans to help thousands of families on January 24th and beyond get the answers and support they need to fight the "January Blues." TroubledWith.com speaks to a wide range of topics under the categories of Abuse and Addiction, Life Pressures, Love and Sex, Parenting Children, Parenting Teens, Relationships, and Transitions. Each topic within the categories has an introduction, links to related articles, frequently asked questions and their answers, personal stories, a list of resources that may be of help, and the option to receive a confidential personal response.
