Who We Help

Families and Parent/Guardian Support

The transition to young adulthood marks a pivotal point, not just in our students’ lives, but in their families’ lives as well. Students begin to develop and explore their identities and interests outside of their family systems. While adolescents benefit from structure and direction, having the freedom to choose and learn of their own accord is a critical part of young adult development. For many parents and guardians, finding a balance between providing support and letting go can be challenging.

We provide parent/guardian support in conjunction with the young adult’s individual treatment, group therapy, and family therapy sessions. Our clinicians conduct therapeutic parent calls, offering insight into their student’s process and progress. At any time, parents and family members can reach out to our Parent Coordinator to address questions, concerns, or thoughts that come up.

The Arise Society is committed to working with students and their families as they re-define the roles they play in each other’s lives. Parents will develop new ways to interact with their kids. We understand that supporting parents and guardians, as they navigate the nuances of the changing relationship with their young adult, promotes family-wide healing and growth.
