Parent guidance is a form of mental health support that empowers parents and caregivers to reflect on effective strategies to support their children. A parent guidance session often involves getting to know what the family sees as their strengths, how do they define their areas of growth, and building a plan for how the family will come together to support the development of the child. Parent guidance often involves discussions about child development utilizing a variety of frameworks that make sense of how a child can thrive.
Parent guidance is an embedded component of any child therapy we provide at Mente. It can also be a stand-alone service for families who wish to reflect on their own parenting and caregiving strategies without having the child present.
