Motivating and Empowering the Family System

Family Engagement

"Family engagement is the process of identifying, enrolling, and retaining families in treatment services. Because caregivers play a crucial role in the physical and emotional development of their children, it is critical that parents are also involved in their child’s mental health treatment. While attendance is important, true engagement is motivating and empowering families to recognize their own needs, strengths, and resources and to take an active role in changing things for the better."
