A Part of the Child and Adolescent Care Management Series

Parents and caregivers play a critical role in the success of child and adolescent therapeutic interventions, yet working effectively with them can be complex. This training supports clinicians in cultivating strong, constructive relationships with parents and caregivers.

Topics include defining roles, maintaining confidentiality, managing resistance, and delivering feedback in ways that promote growth and resilience. We will also explore common challenges in working with families going through separation, divorce, and life transitions. Through discussion, case examples, and interactive exercises, participants will build skills to strengthen therapeutic outcomes through effective parent collaboration.
