FAMILY HEALTH

Family participation can be important to the long-term success of any youth. At ECHO we encourage family involvement as much as possible during the course of treatment. Parents who are unable to come to our facility for any reason may participate in most of these activities by phone or other means. We offer several modalities specifically to promote family health.

Family Support & Systemic Program

Parents and families are encouraged to participate in ECHO’s weekly Family Support & Systemic Program, facilitated by a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. ECHO feels that promoting new and effective communication skills assist families in creating a healthier emotional family dynamic

Individual Family Therapy

Since the family dynamic is so instrumental in creating safe and healthy environments for youth to achieve and maintain their sobriety, each family at ECHO will receive individual family therapy with a licensed family therapist. Family therapy will focus on family dynamics that promote the healthy expression of behaviors and emotions that encourage openness and result in healthier families.
