Family therapy provides accompaniment for parents as they support their child who may be facing behavioral, social, or mental health challenges. This is a structured, short-term model (3 to 4 months) that provides psychoeducation, skill building, and a space for reconnection to caregivers and children in order to improve the parent-child relationship. We do not provide individual counseling services for youth under the age of 18; however, we support the family system as they navigate accessing services through other community partners.
  • Format includes voluntary whole family sessions or 1-1 parent coaching sessions.

Clinical Care Management

Centro Sanar’s clinical care management program is a voluntary service designed to support clients over a three to six-month period, helping them identify and build on their strengths while working towards personal goals. The program’s focus is to provide a reflective space to reduce barriers and promote emotional well-being through skills like emotion regulation, psychoeducation, accompaniment, and problem-solving. In the strength-based approach, clients are empowered to actively engage in new skills and utilize existing resources. The program teaches clients how to navigate future challenges independently. The care plan is developed collaboratively with the client, it includes both practical assistance—such as connecting clients with resources—and clinical elements like trauma education and mindfulness, fostering long-term resilience. Through this holistic and strength-focused model, the program helps clients achieve greater stability and independence.
  • Overall well being is measured throughout service
