She is passionate about supporting families as they build loving relationships. She offers 45 years of experience and the skills to find the way through the hardest challenges one may encounter.
Dr. Frain did her doctoral research on resilience of children and families at the Health Sciences Center as well. There she discovered the power of close family ties to overcome adversity and pain.

In the mid 1990's Dr. Frain and Eileen Clegg, a news reporter in Sonoma County, California, were inspired to write Becoming a Wise Parent for Your Grown Child.

Quotations:
"Grown of not, they're still your kids - and sometimes you think they need your help,even though they don't want you to act like a parent anymore. Other times, they want something from you - but you want them to stop acting like children and get on with their lives."
"The inspiration for my book came from witnessing Eileen Clegg act as a wise parent for her grown children, my own experience participating in parent support groups as my children were growing up, and my own work in providing a safe place for parents to talk about their grown children."
"The work of Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi inspires me to support elders to share their wisdom with future generations and to foster well-being in their children and grandchildren. After fifteen years of providing family therapy in a private practice, I want to reach more people with my message; thus, the books."
Betty is the member of American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, Redwood Empire Chapter of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
Betty has two children: Sylvia Frain, Michael Resneck.
