Facilitated Support Sessions
At Endeavor Health Behavioral Health, we recognize that family involvement is a crucial part of the recovery journey. Our Facilitated Family Visits are designed to help families actively participate in their loved one’s treatment while building strong communication and support systems. These visits are a key component of our inpatient programs, providing structured opportunities for family members to connect with their loved ones in a meaningful way.
What to Expect During Family Visits
During Facilitated Family Visits, a professional therapist or counselor will guide the interaction to ensure it remains productive, positive, and focused on reinforcing treatment goals. These visits typically follow a structured format that includes:
- Scheduled visitation times that align with the patient’s treatment plan.
- Professional facilitation to guide discussions and address concerns.
- Opportunities to discuss progress and challenges with both the patient and their care team.
- Resources for families to take home and continue supporting their loved one.
Benefits of Facilitated Family Visits
Strengthening Family Bonds
Facilitated family visits provide a safe space for family members to reconnect, communicate openly, and support one another through the recovery process. This structured environment allows for deeper emotional connections and healing.
Improving Communication
With the help of a professional facilitator, family members learn how to communicate effectively, listen empathetically, and address difficult topics that may arise during the recovery journey.
Reinforcing Treatment Goals
Family involvement is key to sustaining treatment progress. These visits ensure that everyone is aligned with the treatment plan and working together to reinforce positive behavior changes.
