Evangelhouse Christian Academy, a leading therapeutic boarding school for teenage girls, announced today that it has successfully concluded its recent Parent Weekend, an essential component of its trademarked LifeLeaf™ treatment model. This intensive, multi-day experience was dedicated to healing and strengthening the entire family unit, providing parents with the therapeutic tools and understanding necessary to support their daughter's enduring recovery.
The Parent Weekend has proved to be an integral part of the healing journey at Evangelhouse, which emphasizes that true, lasting transformation occurs within the context of a healthy family system. During the weekend, families participated in a series of Experiential Family Therapy and structured workshops led by licensed clinicians. These sessions were designed to facilitate open communication, address complex family dynamics, and teach new relationship skills aligned with the LifeLeaf™ model's five key areas of wellness.
Activities during the weekend focused on practical application and deep emotional work, and included:
- Intensive Family Therapy Sessions: Focused time with the student’s primary therapist to work through core issues and create a unified home-transition plan.
- Parent Education Workshops: Training in effective communication, boundary setting, and continuity of care for post-program success.
- Group Peer Support: Opportunities for parents to connect with and learn from other families navigating similar challenges.
- Spiritual and Inspirational Activities: Shared time for emotional and spiritual replenishment, reinforcing the academy's core values.
- Therapeutic Recreational Activities: included a Parent vs Student Soccer game.
