Children and adolescents often rely on caregiver engagement to support therapeutic progress. However, clinicians frequently encounter barriers such as caregiver resistance, inconsistency, systemic stressors, or logistical limitations. This interactive workshop equips clinicians with practical, developmentally appropriate strategies to maintain treatment effectiveness despite limited parental involvement. Participants will explore ethical considerations, engagement techniques, and alternative means of support to promote resilience and therapeutic gains in youth.
Training Objectives:
- Identify common barriers to parental involvement in child and adolescent therapy
- Apply engagement strategies to increase caregiver participation when possible
- Collaborate with caregivers to assess needs, set goals, and implement family-centered interventions.
- Implement developmentally appropriate interventions that do not rely solely on caregiver involvement
- Implement ethical, developmentally appropriate interventions while promoting positive long-term outcomes for children and families.
- Utilize systemic and ecological approaches to support youth outside of the family system
