Parenting a Child in Behavioral Health Treatment

You are on the team, whether or not it feels that way this week.

Six things that help

1. Show up consistently to sessions, even if your child pushes back.
2. Keep the language you use at home aligned with your child's therapist.
3. Protect sleep and routine at all costs.
4. Watch for warning signs (withdrawal, self harm talk) and act early.
5. Coordinate with school with written permission.
6. Get your own support. You cannot pour from an empty cup.
