If we are not an appropriate provider for care, we will assist in finding a care provider that can help.
A Mission For Michael delivers all-encompassing treatment for those who find themselves experiencing persistent or worsening mental health symptoms. Our residential treatment centers provide care to adults within our California, Washington, and Virginia healthcare facilities. Our programs are designed for adults 18 and older.
Our facilities offer a well-rounded approach for various mental health disorders and dual diagnosis conditions. Treatment programs that provide care for adolescents and young adults commonly offer parenting skills programs to help parents create a home environment that is conducive for recovery. While AMFM does not provide treatment for those under the age of 18, we do work with young adults experiencing mental health concerns. We will review the benefits of a parenting skills training, so you can be familiarized with its role in mental health treatment programs.
Parenting skills programs are commonly offered in mental health counseling to help adults learn essential parenting skills for success. These programs provide structured guidance to help set boundaries and reinforce rules, improve communication skills for parents, and strengthen the parent-child relationship.
You will learn the differences between permissive and strict parenting, and which approaches establish healthy boundaries. These programs are often tailored to your families unique needs to ensure that you receive the support you need. This can include the use of counseling services, workshops, and teletherapy sessions. Parenting skills programs may be included in your insurance coverage, which is why we encourage you to complete our insurance verification form.
Parenting skills can help parents learn positive discipline strategies that can help improve child behaviors. Research has indicated that these programs can have a positive impact on family dynamics, and help parents understand topics like the differences between permissive and strict parent. Programs that offer personalized programs tend to have a stronger impact than generic programs.
A key factor in the effectiveness of parenting classes is the participation and dedication. Therapists and counselors can introduce you to various parenting skills and approaches that can help decrease the presence of unhealthy or unwanted behaviors. It is up to the parents to apply this knowledge, and be consistent with it.
Parenting skills programs commonly focus on behavior prevention, child development, social skills, and reducing aggression. These programs are often integrated into behavioral therapy for children and adolescents, aiming to enhance the parent-child relationship. They are particularly relevant for addressing mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and conduct disorders.
Research highlights the effectiveness of parenting programs, particularly those delivered in group therapy settings. A review of eight studies found that parents reported positive outcomes from participation, although self-directed programs were less effective. Programs offered within mental health treatment settings often emphasize collaborative learning and real-world application, fostering stronger connections and better outcomes for families.
It can be challenging to determine which parenting program is right for you without professional support and guidance. There are a number of factors to consider, including your families’ specific needs and challenges. The child’s age will have a direct impact on the type of counseling and behavioral health interventions that are used.
You can begin with an online search using phrases like “Parenting education programs near me” or “Parenting classes near me” to learn about local program options. We encourage you to contact these mental health treatment facilities for personalized support and guidance to ensure that you receive the care and support you need. For support regarding young adults, 18 and older, who are struggling with unwanted behaviors, we encourage you to call us today for your free and confidential mental health assessment.

Parenting skills programs can introduce effective parenting techniques and conflict resolution skills for parents. Your program will be tailored to your families’ dynamics, and personal needs. Examples of parenting skills programs that may be offered in mental health counseling programs include, but are not limited to:
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a program that focuses on developing healthy parent-child interactions. This approach often combines structured techniques to address disruptive, or unwanted, behaviors and play therapy. Parents can receive guidance in managing child behavior challenges that can be used outside of session.
Parent Management Training (PMT) can help parents learn how to reinforce positive behaviors. This can lead to a decrease in unwanted, or problematic, behaviors. This approach requires consistency, clear communication, and proper consequences. You may learn about this approach with parenting workshops and resources.
Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) is an approach that offers tiered support through the use of self-guided modules that use intensive interventions. This approach can help develop a positive parent-child relationship, develop resiliency, and build confidence. This approach does incorporate methods that are similar to gentle parenting techniques.
Behavioral and Emotional Skills Training (BEST) is an approach that focuses on emotion regulation skills in parents, and behavioral challenges that they experience. Parents will learn to create a nurturing and structured environment for children while developing strong parent-child relationships.
A Mission For Michael offers family programming in addition to evidence-based and holistic residential treatment programs.
