Families can be a place of love and support and a place of harm and pain. This workshop will explore the counselor’s multifaceted role when working with various family systems. Some family issues include communication, relationships and navigating change. Participants will examine how mental health clinicians can educate family members to recognize and demonstrate acts of love for one another; how it is possible to heal from the harm that has been inflicted; and how parents/guardians can learn to “parent” more effectively. Participants will discuss techniques designed to enhance parent/guardian psychoeducation.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Summarize the intervention strategies of notable family systems theorists such as Minuchin, Satir, and Haley.
  • Utilize genograms as an assessment tool.
  • Describe the fundamental concepts of parent psychoeducation.
