Parent Coaching

Service Description

Parent coaching is when one or both parents meet with a professional coach to foster goal achievement related to parenting. In this non-judgmental setting, the coach can use psychoeducation and evidence-based strategy to navigate familial issues related to children. Parent coaching is directive and brief with mutually agreed upon goals. In some cases, the coach can connect parents with support groups or resources for long-term assistance. In general, this form of coaching carries an implicit larger goal of re-establishing positive family relationships achieved through the application of smaller goals like improving communication, providing psychoeducation, improving parenting strategies, fostering confidence and self-efficacy, developing solution-focused thinking.
