Description

In the United States, it is estimated that over half of teens will suffer from a mental health issue at some point during their adolescent years. These figures from the National Institute of Mental Health display an alarming epidemic with grave consequences. However, it is widely evidenced that swift intervention, relevant treatment, and parental involvement in the therapeutic process significantly lessen the detrimental impact on the individuals as they journey into adulthood. Research indicates that parental involvement throughout a teenager’s treatment and recovery, by way of family engagement in the treatment plan, helps the teen achieve the best success rates. Research also shows that combined parent-adolescent and family therapy treatment plans demonstrate far better outcomes than plans in which teenagers only received individual therapy. Adolescents whose families do the work see long-term success, improved participation, higher levels of attendance, and overall family satisfaction.

The presentation continues within this realm and delves into Family Systems Theory, which seeks to explore and understand both the internal and external family models of the individual in question. By nourishing and restoring the whole self as well as the entire family, it is possible to heal exponentially. Together we will explore how increasing family engagement decreases trauma and yields healing and greater recovery success.
