Parenting Skills

Strengthening the entire family unit when parents and children work together.

When parents and children work together on solving problems, the entire family unit can be strengthened. Children and adolescents are seen in treatment at the Amis De La Famille Rwanda if one or preferably both of their parents are involved in treatment as well.

We have found that involving in family therapy those persons who are most important to children in family therapy not only shortens the course of treatment, but also improves the outcome.

Observed sudden worrisome changes in your child’s behavior
Your child is underachieving at school
You have received a note or call from the school reporting difficulties
