Family Counseling Sessions

Family counseling sessions are held with all of our students.

Youth who have been through family counselingWhen parents are in Israel, the conferences are held at our campus. When parents are overseas, the conferences are held via video conference.

These meetings are an integral part of our rehabilitative program.

Bridging the gap through family counseling sessions

In family counseling, parents and children are taught positive communication skills, positive problem solving and appropriate emotional expression.

As with the other aspects of our program, much more emphasis is placed on future oriented growth, than on rehashing everything that did not work in the past.

Our emphasis on looking forward allows parents and teenagers to begin creating distance between themselves and the negative habits that were reinforced in the past.

Encouraging and supporting

When parents and teenagers achieve a broader perspective on mutual goals, we gently guide the family unit to become a more encouraging and supportive entity.

Years of anger and frustration can slowly begin to unravel when parents and teenagers develop a broader comprehension of the love and commitment that are part of the family unit.

Through these sessions, we work with our students on appreciation and communication.

We work with parents to help them guide their teenager in areas where he can change and to accept those areas where change is not currently possible.

Get connected

At UCanachieve Therapeutic Boarding School we strongly value the relationship between each young man and his family, and believe that communication and counseling can help. Forging healthier family relationships helps your son become comfortable with his place in the world, which in turn makes it easier for you to communicate and assist in his development.
