Course Description
60 Minute Lecture
Although critical healing work happens in the clinical setting, children live with their families, not with their clinicians. Yet families are not part of the clinical experience in many/most mental health/NF clinics. Resilience-building — an optimal outcome of good treatment — can be enhanced dramatically when appropriate family members are carefully integrated into a child’s healing experience.
Using NF to help a child feel safe with a parent, coaching a parent to recognize and support a child’s healing in the moment, and supporting the child-parent unit overall is not only worthwhile, it is for many children, (and parents) life-changing. The NF setting can be ideal for this transformation!
