Description
Description:
Adolescent self-harming behavior is on the rise and is one of the most challenging presenting problems school professionals, healthcare providers, and therapists will face in their clinical practice settings. In this “hands-on” practice-oriented workshop, participants will learn several distress management tools and strategies to strengthen the adolescent’s self-soothing and coping capacities and family connectionbuilding rituals and therapeutic experiments to foster closer and stronger parent-adolescent relationships. Parent management skills for constructively responding to their adolescents’ inevitable self-harming slips will be presented.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe the use of mindfulness meditation, visualization and multi-sensory distress management strategies in self=soothing and coping abilities.
- To describe the use of family connection-building rituals to strengthen parent-adolescent relationships.
