The ABCs of Family Therapy
At Pasadena Villa Outpatient, we know families can overcome dysfunction and achieve a healthy balance because we’ve seen it happen. We know that mental health challenges don’t just affect the individual — they affect the entire family. Without family involvement, those in treatment may return to environments that trigger unhealthy patterns or behaviors.
Guidelines + Goals of Family Therapy
- The individual in treatment works to understand the impact of their condition on their loved ones.
- Parents learn to balance realistic expectations with hope for a meaningful life for their child.
- Family members begin to come to terms with and accept that their loved one has a mental health disorder.
- All involved agree to place shame, anger, and guilt aside and create a new dynamic.
How it Helps
According to the National Institutes of Health, an integrated family approach to mental health treatment can benefit families facing a range of interconnected challenges. Through education, family therapy, and inclusive activities, loved ones become active participants in the treatment process — improving family dynamics and increasing the likelihood of long-term recovery.
