This training equips clinicians with practical tools to assess and treat children, adolescents, and young adults impacted by parental mental illness. It focuses on how parental mental health symptoms shape a young person’s emotional, cognitive, and relational development, and how these dynamics emerge in clinical work. Participants will learn assessment strategies, case conceptualization skills, and ways to understand parent–child interactions, including how youth process their experiences, differentiate their own needs, and navigate the guilt and grief that may come with boundary setting. The training also provides guidance on collaborating effectively with caregivers, addressing relational challenges, and supporting healthy adjustment within the family system. Grounded in attachment-informed, cognitive-behavioral, and systems perspectives, it offers practical interventions to promote emotional processing, autonomy, and resilience.
Learning Objectives:
1. Predict how parent-child dynamics influence client symptom presentation and treatment goals.
2. List developmentally appropriate techniques that reduce distress and strengthen healthy attachment behaviors in the context of parental mental illness.
3. Demonstrate clinical strategies for collaborating with caregivers while maintaining ethical boundaries and protecting the child’s therapeutic alliance.
4. Prepare clients for predictable internal reactions (e.g., guilt, fear, grief) and external responses (e.g., pushback, invalidation) when asserting new boundaries.
