16. “Not Just the Facts, Ma’am” – Engaging Families Through Psychoeducation – Dr. Himanshu Agrawal & Angela Frederickson
Research shows that families play a vital role in any child’s treatment. Knowing that, professionals often seek to involve families by keeping them informed. They provide families with facts about a child’s treatment issues and needs. But more recently, studies show that a far more effective manner of working with families is to take them far beyond the simple facts of a child’s needs. In this session, we will focus on ways to truly engage families and a dynamic model of psychoeducation with families that goes far beyond simply keeping families informed.
