Filial Therapy: Helping Families Build Stronger Attachments through
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: This workshop will highlight several of the major challenges facing the parent-child relationship in today’s society. It will address the negative impact these challenges have on the parent-child connection and talk about how Filial Therapy can help restore those relationships. Filial Therapy is one of the most effective evidence-based family models that has been proven to help improve: a) the child’s behavioral problems (both internal and external); b) the parent-child relationship; c) the parent’s level of functioning (both as parent and in regards to their own mental health); and d) the marital relationship. For these reasons it is one of the most effective interventions that truly involves the entire family. This training will introduce participants to Filial Play Therapy and provide them with a basic understanding of how it helps improve family functioning.
