Family healing is part of treatment at Roots

When a teen is struggling, the whole family feels it. At Roots, we do not treat your daughter in isolation. We work with the full family system so healing can continue long after she returns home.

From the beginning, families are supported through parent sessions, weekly family therapy, regular case manager guidance, and opportunities for deeper healing together.

Our goal is not only to help your daughter stabilize. It is to help your family better understand what is happening, build healthier patterns, and move forward with more trust, clarity, and connection.

Weekly support and family partnership

At Roots, parents are not kept at a distance. We stay closely connected throughout treatment so your family has guidance, clarity, and support every step of the way.

  • Parent sessions and weekly family therapy: We begin with parent support early in treatment, then move into weekly family therapy focused on communication, trust, and healthier patterns.
  • Weekly case manager guidance: Families receive regular updates, support, and help understanding progress and next steps.
  • Clear ongoing communication: We stay connected through calls, emails, and progress updates so you feel informed and supported throughout the process.

Support for parents and siblings

A family crisis does not only affect the child in treatment. At Roots, we create space for the people around her to grow, learn, and heal too.

  • Parent Workshop: A supportive, psychoeducational experience focused on understanding teen behavior, strengthening communication, and learning practical tools for home.
  • Sibling support groups: Brothers and sisters often carry their own stress during a family crisis. We offer support that helps them process change and feel less alone.
  • Family Trail Guide: Families receive a guide upon admission to support reflection, growth, and continued participation throughout treatment.

Immersive Family Intensive

For deeper healing, families are invited into a 2-day Family Intensive focused on reconnection, repair, and system-wide healing. This is a meaningful time to step out of old patterns and focus on what your family needs in order to move forward differently.

During this experience, families take part in:

  • Guided storytelling and experiential work that build empathy and understanding
  • Practical tools for communication, trust, and repair
  • Deeper exploration of family roles and patterns so healing can continue after treatment ends

Preparation for a calmer home

The goal of family work at Roots is not only to support your daughter while she is here. It is to help your whole family feel more prepared for what comes next.

By involving you from the beginning, we help the progress made in treatment carry into daily life at home.

Discharge planning begins early and includes reintegration support, aftercare coordination, and a clear plan for the transition home.

Families can also stay connected through alumni support, community resources, and continued guidance after graduation.

Family Support Services FAQ’s

Because lasting change usually does not happen in isolation. At Roots, healing the family system is part of treatment, not an add-on. The program is built around the belief that families need support, communication, and tools alongside their daughter so progress can carry into life at home.

Parents are involved from the beginning. Roots starts with parent sessions early in treatment, then moves into weekly family therapy. Families also receive weekly guidance from case managers, ongoing collaboration with the clinical team, and structured support through the Parent Workshop, Family Intensive, and Family Trail Guide.

Yes. Roots places a strong emphasis on transparency and regular communication. Families receive updates through calls and emails, monthly written progress summaries, and ongoing guidance from case management. That steady communication is especially important because parents often come in feeling overwhelmed and afraid of being left in the dark.

The Parent Workshop is a dedicated psychoeducational experience designed to help caregivers better understand what is happening underneath the behavior. It focuses on practical tools, communication, boundaries, attachment, regulation, shame resilience, and parental self-care. Some of the core ideas Roots teaches parents are simple but powerful: behavior is communication, connection comes before correction, and attachment can be strengthened and repaired.

The Family Intensive is a deeper, more immersive part of the process. It is designed to help families reconnect, understand one another more clearly, and begin repairing old patterns. Families take part in guided storytelling, experiential exercises, communication work, trust-building, and conversations that bring hidden dynamics into the open in a more supported way. The goal is to leave with practical tools, greater clarity, and a shared roadmap for moving forward.

Yes. Roots recognizes that a family crisis affects more than the child in treatment. Sibling support groups are part of the ongoing family support model, and the broader family system is included in the healing process whenever appropriate.

Roots is not built on shame, force, or harsh control. The program’s philosophy is trauma-informed, whole-family, and connection-based. Parents consistently need reassurance that they are not walking into a punitive or hospital-like environment, and Roots addresses that by meeting each child and family where they are, using natural consequences instead of punishment, and focusing on understanding the root of the struggle rather than just reacting to behavior.

According to Roots’ own parent research, families tend to do best when caregivers stay open, willing, and engaged. Better outcomes are supported when parents keep doing their own work, participate in sessions, workshops, and support groups, and are willing to look honestly at patterns that may need to change at home. Parent workshops have also become a cornerstone of support.

Preparation for home begins early. Roots starts discharge and aftercare planning from day one and helps families build a reintegration plan, transition supports, and a clearer path forward. After graduation, families can stay connected through alumni support, weekly peer support options, the Roots app, and other community resources that help reinforce progress after treatment ends.
