In working with adolescents, parents can expect to be involved with their child’s treatment. Whether that is attending family sessions, learning parenting skills to implement at home, and/or providing feedback to the therapist. Positive outcomes are more possible when the family system is involved with the adolescent’s therapeutic process.
