The National Training and Technical Assistance Center for Child, Youth, and Family Mental Health

Therapeutic residential care can be a lifesaving resource for children and youth with complex needs and their families. However, research has shown that youth and family engagement is lacking in these programs, and residential care centers are challenged in implementing youth and family-driven care.

This webinar will offer insight through research and lived experiences into the current status of residential care and suggest strategies to more effectively partner with the youth and families that receive these services. A panel of youth and parents who have experienced residential care will share what they found worked and did not work for their families as well as identify strategies and approaches that would be helpful. Recent studies of family engagement in residential care will also be highlighted to support implementation.
