Family centered coaching

Family-centered coaching

Loving a family member with mental illness may be easy, but engaging with them might have its challenges. Their mood fluctuations, demands, and threats can take a toll on the whole family system. Family centered coaching provides families, parents, or spouses with tangible, actionable skills to support their loved ones in a healthy manner. Families are supported on a regular, ongoing basis.

Family-centered coaching can help:

• Develop a better understanding of their loved one’s psychiatric concerns

• Improve communication with their loved one

• Advocate on behalf of their loved one

• Identify their personal limits and work to adhere to these limits

• Improve boundaries within the system

• Assist with care and treatment navigation

• Support transitions from therapeutic placement to home and vice versa

• Develop and support crisis management plans
