Parent week at our Treatment Facility.
We have “Parent Week” quarterly here at Triumph Youth Services. It is something we look forward to. During this week Parents have the opportunity to participate in workshops where they are educated about how we are helping their Son, and how they can understand how to be beneficial in this process as well.
Parent training focuses specifically on the parents without the student present. Many needs of the parents are explored including but not limited to: adequately coping with a defiant child, family systems and parental management skills.
Quarterly workshops are fully incorporated into the program to help parents with transition planning and rebuilding trust with their son. Parents learn how they can better help their Son when they return back to normal life. It is a good time to have face to face interaction with our counselors and teachers. Also networking with other parents can be very helpful as well. When a parent or Grandparent gets involved and participates it makes a world of difference, it is always a positive experience for all concerned.
