Description
Therapists who work with children and adolescents routinely meet with parents as part of the treatment plan. However, clinicians are often unsure how to best make use of parent meetings, how to involve parents in the treatment and in particular, what to say to parents to augment the treatment. This workshop introduces participants to concrete, practical and easy-to-implement strategies for working with parents. This strength-based approach to parent therapy is based on the clinical practice model of beginning with the most minimally invasive effective interventions that are both most effective and respectful, Grounded in developmental and resiliency theory, C.A.R.E. Parent Therapy is designed to help therapists empower parents to recognize and mobilize their strengths and capacities as caring adults.
