For many people, family provides the primary source of mental health support. You spend each day together, share meals, and experience both joys and struggles as a unit. When your family struggles to support one another—especially as more serious mental health concerns arise—it may be time to consider family therapy in New Orleans / Metairie.
Within our adolescent
intensive outpatient program, our family therapy and parenting IOP groups provide support for our patients’ entire families. These groups help build skills to support one another and maintain collective mental well-being. By finding the most effective treatment, you and your family receive the support necessary to enjoy life fully. You also gain new tools to meet each member's unique mental health needs, strengthening your ability to care for one another in meaningful ways.
Family Therapy as Part of Our IOP Program
Rather than offering a separate program, family therapy is a key aspect of our adolescent IOP in New Orleans. Our goal in involving family members in the IOP program is to build skills in the following areas:
- Effective parenting
- Boundary-setting
- Trauma education
- Relapse Prevention
- Communication skills
At Genesis Behavioral Health Services, our IOP program assesses your family's needs and provides specialized support to help you reach your mental health goals. As you work with
our skilled team, you will openly discuss the concerns your family is experiencing and develop a care plan tailored to what works best for you and your family.
Intensive Parent Weekend
A key part of our family therapy program in Metairie is our intensive parent weekend. The goal of this event is to create a structured program for our patients and their families to work through issues that may be impacting their relationships and overall well-being.
Our intensive parent weekend consists of:
Therapeutic Activities
The goal of these exercises is to help improve communication, create trust, and strengthen relationships.
Education and Skill Building
The focus of these workshops is to provide families with new strategies and skills to navigate life’s challenges and improve their relationships.
Follow up and Support
Our dedication to your family does not end with this weekend. Additional support is personalized for each family and may include individual therapy, family therapy, support groups, or resources to help them continue working on their goals and maintaining progress.
Our IOP also included a dedicated parenting group that meets for two hours each week.
