For Families For Families Everything loved ones should know Whole Family Healing While one member of the family has been singled out for treatment, the entire family has been impacted. The willingness of family members to be involved in their loved one’s treatment experience is critical to the patient’s recovery. That’s why we actively engage the family shortly after admission with our family program and integrate them into the treatment process, in addition to providing guidance and support. A Note to Parents We know that no one wants to see their kid struggle, but when your child enters our program, you become part of a network of parents who have been where you are and can offer support. Use our Parent Portal to find resources and help anytime, then join our weekly parent group call for those with teens currently in treatment. Family Work Our family program is designed to increase healthy communication, teach skills to set healthy boundaries, and support young adults in their recovery, not in their disease. Our family counselor will provide psychoeducation and resources needed while assessing your needs within the context of the family system. During our onsite family work, the emphasis stretches beyond psychoeducation, incorporating experiential ways of learning with a strong focus on healthy communication. Beyond Theory Podcast Parenting teenagers with mental health issues can be extremely challenging, but there are professional treatment options like therapy and residential programs that can provide individualized, trauma-informed care to help kids heal. As Executive Director of the Meadows Adolescent Center, Mike Gurr explains the assessments and protocols they use to support teens struggling with anxiety, depression and self-harm. Though the parenting journey has ups and downs, Gurr emphasizes that with the right treatment and family engagement, transformative change is possible. Aftercare Treatment may end, but we remain invested in your entire family’s success. That’s why we will work with you long before discharge to ensure you know your aftercare options and have resources in place to support the work your child has already done.
