Empowering Families: Strategies for Effective Child and Adolescent Treatment
Abstract
This chapter examines the importance of family involvement in infant and adolescent psychological practices and interventions. It emphasizes the significance of involving families in the therapeutic process, which leads to enhanced treatment outcomes, increased parent and carer satisfaction, and a higher probability of long-term success. It discusses evidence-based interventions that effectively engage and empower parents and carers, such as parent education, family therapy, and parent-child interaction therapy. Despite the numerous advantages, family involvement may face cultural differences, language barriers, stigma, and lack of awareness. Mental health professionals must adopt culturally sensitive approaches, combat stigma, and provide ongoing support and education to surmount these obstacles. When families are actively involved and empowered, they establish a strong support network beyond therapy sessions, promoting resilience and positive change for the child's development and well-being.
