Family therapy
Families can benefit from therapy when they experience any stressful event that may strain family relationships, in treating mental health concerns that impact the family, such as depression, substance abuse, chronic illness, and food issues.
This type of therapy can also help to cope with some everyday concerns, like communication problems, interpersonal conflict, or behavioural problems in children and adolescents.
Family therapy aims to improve understanding and collaboration among family members to solve the problems of one or more individuals. For example, if a child is having social and academic problems, therapy will focus on the family patterns or other environmental factors that may contribute to the child’s behaviour.
Family members can learn to support the child and work proactively on minimizing the conditions that contribute to the child’s unwanted behaviour. In addition, such work may give better understanding of undergoing processes that a child (or other member of family) is experiencing, to work on empathy and, at the same time, obtain new skills that can practically contribute to vital situation of loved ones.
Family Therapy can help to:
- Adjust to a new family situation
- Improve communication skills among members
- Reduce conflicts and tension in family
- Develop and maintain healthy boundaries
- Promote problem - solving and collaboration
- Build empathy and understanding
- Create an environment of trust and appreciation
