Clinical Parent Coaching for Adolescent Substance Use Treatment

Clinical Parent Coaching as a Core Component of Adolescent and Young Adult Substance Use Treatment

The integration of Clinical Parent Coaching into the treatment of adolescents and young adults with substance use and co-occurring disorders plays a critical role in promoting sustained recovery and systemic change within the family. Engaging parents in a parallel therapeutic process alongside their child’s treatment enhances family functioning, improves clinical outcomes, and supports long-term recovery.

This webinar will examine the theoretical and clinical foundations supporting parent engagement in a parallel process of care, with particular attention to family systems and developmentally informed treatment models. It will explore evidence-informed strategies for engaging parents in Clinical Parent Coaching, delineate core objectives and clinical interventions utilized within parent-focused sessions, and address considerations when working with divorced or separated parents. Additionally, the webinar will review the impact of parent engagement on adolescent and young adult treatment outcomes and provide practical guidance for implementing Clinical Parent Coaching across both outpatient and residential treatment settings.
