Parent coaching is a directive approach that is brief (2-4 sessions) to assist with identifying a presenting problem or off-baseline concerns. The Parent Coach will typically provide support in the following areas: behavioral issues, family transitions, children at high risk, and developmental disorders.
The Parent Coach and parent/parents or caregiver will work together to create a brief assessment and determination of goals such as: establishing healthy relationships, establishing healthy boundaries, enhancing healthy communication, and improving parenting strategies. The parent coach can provide outside resources and connect individuals and families to assist with long-term stabilization and continuation of care. This resource can be beneficial for any parent/parents or caregiver who would benefit from clinical insight and intervention. The coach will provide psychoeducation designed for the child/family pertaining to the individual needs/diagnosis.
The Parent coach will assist the parent/caregiver by providing clinical interventions, developing solution-focused thinking, discuss and recognizing strategies contingent on a person and family-centered curriculum.
