Support and Family Therapy in New Jersey
When someone you love has a mental health disorder, there can be feelings of confusion, loss, and fear. That's why Abseil Heights offers services to families as well as our inpatient residents. Family therapy, counselor guidance, and aftercare planning are essential to ensure everyone is heard and receives positive mental health support.
Benefits of Family Therapy at Abseil Heights
Family therapy can be invaluable in building a positive mental health support system. The group sessions enable family members to provide a unique perspective on the disorder and discuss feelings in a controlled environment. Family counseling will primarily address how to help those with mental health illnesses. Your family will also tackle:
- Family trauma
- Behavioral issues relating to mental disorders
- Family dynamics
- Positive communication techniques
The goal of family therapy in New Jersey is to improve communication and resolve conflicts that can come with a mental illness. Healing begins when families work together toward the same goal, using the same playbook. That's why we encourage your family to be involved in your inpatient treatment and recovery treatment as much as possible.
Abseil Heights Is Here For Families in New Jersey
Having a family member in inpatient psychiatric care can be a stressful time. Our counselors and office staff will help give you consistent updates on your loved one's health and progress. We are available to answer questions about treatment or medications. We may also contact you to discuss your family's mental health, history, and well-being.
Under the guidance of a family therapist, you'll find a safe space to share your thoughts and feelings without judgment. These in-person or telehealth sessions vary depending on the personalized care plan. We will also collaborate with family members when creating aftercare plans and goals.
Addressing Family Aftercare
Families offer a crucial support system that can significantly influence mental health after a loved one leaves inpatient care. Family members provide emotional support and practical assistance in managing medications, attending therapy sessions, and maintaining a stable home environment. For this reason, Abseil Heights invites families to participate in aftercare planning.
Counselors may suggest additional family therapy or family group therapy as part of the customized aftercare plan. Therapy can help family members understand the progression of their loved one's mental disorder and how to recognize the early signs of relapse. Other aftercare activities are suggested to create a more supportive and nurturing environment for everyone involved.
