It’s my aim that you leave today feeling that you have the confidence……
To begin to include parents/families in your
interventions with children and young people
To know where and when it might be appropriate
and
To know where to seek/develop the necessary
skills to do so

Rationale• Explosion, both actual cases and awareness of mental
health issues amongst children/YP, and a desire by all
parties to ‘do’ something about it.
• Systems and the Family First approach
• Development of the F in CYPF and professional
dialogue in this area
• Your own question/case
• Mindful that it may not actually be an appropriate
way to support the child/YP in the counselling space

Family First Principles

differently
•Working with the whole family
•Empowering, focus on resilience and strengths
•Flexible and promote personal responsibility

The Family Systems Perspectiv(can also read ‘organisations’)
• Individuals – are best understood through assessing the
interactions within an entire family
• Symptoms –an expression of a dysfunction within a
family
• Problematic behaviours
– serve a purpose ‘to help stabilise’ equilibrium.
-are a function of the family’s ability to operate
productively in the here and now
- often symptomatic patterns handed down across
generations
A family is an interactional unit and a change in one
member affects all members

Recent professional dialogue ……
•Working within the family Dynamic - bacp CYP&F
June 2018
A major part of the work is encouraging the parents to shift
form seeing the child as ‘the problem’ to understanding the
child within the context of his development, his history and
his family”
•Opinion- bacp CYP&F June 2019
Lyn Martin discusses “ a move towards collaboration
becoming the norm rather than the exception”

Fears Challenges Barriers
•Discussion in small group of 3, thinking
in particular about the therapeutic
alliance, challenges for the client and
counsellor….

Some suggestions…
• Readiness or not of child/YP
• Our philosophy on what counselling is or isn’t, may come
from training but also from….
• Own story about parents’, authority, family in any
support/struggles as a child or adolescent
• Trust and extending the therapeutic relationship beyond
the two of you
• Lack of knowledge/skill base
• Confidence in managing the dynamic, balance of power
• Conflicts with Service model you work in
• Boundary setting
• Overload – too much information can cloud the initial
relationship building

Continuum of depth, reach and timing
• The child/YP’s needs must always be at the heart of
any decision making. Likewise the pace and depth of
work with others will depend on the needs of the
child/YP
• Build the relationship with the child or young person
before introducing anyone else into the mix
• Balance of power / locus of control
• Contracting at the start for safeguarding exclusions
otherwise, as far as possible, the child/YP to be in the
front passenger seat
