Family Interventions (!)

“Our results provide support for a family-based approach to prevention intervention…In fact, research suggest that intervening with parents may be more effective than intervening with children…It is also noteworthy that, to date, little research exists in the relation between parental change and child change” (Beardslee et al., 2003).

"We believe in the principles of (1) engaging with parents, (2) providing psychoeducational information, (3) providing strategies for enhancing resilience in children, (4) linking information to the families’ unique experiences, (5) and then providing long-term follow-up and support for the implementation of prevention strategies for a wide range of conditions (divorce, alcoholism), not just parental depression” (Beardslee et al., 2003).
