Chrysalis Therapeutic Boarding School is excited to introduce its innovative Parent Support Program, a testament to our unwavering dedication to offering comprehensive assistance to both students and their families. Led by the esteemed Stacey Waites, LCSW, this program is uniquely tailored to complement existing family therapy sessions. The key focus is delivering hands-on support to the family system, addressing, exploring, and acquiring new skills to discern their needs versus those of their child. Recognizing the individuality of each family, Chrysalis Therapeutic Boarding School ensures that the Parent Support Program is flexible and adept at tackling specific challenges parents face. Waites, a guide and facilitator, works in tandem with individual therapy, providing psychoeducation on active and reflective listening, authoritative parenting, effective communication techniques, mental health conditions, grief, and healthy communication practices. Understanding the intricacies of supporting a child's emotional well-being, the therapist assists parents in identifying triggers, teaching coping strategies, and establishing healthy boundaries. Mindfulness and empowerment are integral components, playing pivotal roles in fostering emotional resilience and personal growth. The therapist equips parents with techniques and tools to cultivate mindfulness and discover empowerment within themselves. Collaboratively, parents and the therapist develop personalized action plans and set meaningful goals, ensuring a supportive and tailored approach to each family's circumstances. MacKenzie Hall, Executive Director at Chrysalis Therapeutic Boarding School, emphasizes, "We firmly believe that strong family involvement is paramount to the healing and growth of our students. The Parent Support Program reflects our commitment to providing enhanced support, empowering parents with valuable communication skills specific to their family dynamics."
