When family conflict becomes too complex to resolve alone
Whole Family Interventions for families navigating high-conflict separation and breakdowns in parent-child relationships. Whole Family Intervention is typically, but not always, part of a court-ordered process..
What is a Whole Family Intervention?
A Whole Family Intervention is a structured, team-based process designed to support families in high-conflict situations.
Rather than working with one individual, we work with the entire family system to address patterns, rebuild relationships, and create a path forward.
This approach is often used when a child is resisting contact with a parent or when conflict has become deeply entrenched.
When Might a Whole Family Intervention Help?
- A child is refusing or resisting contact with a parent
- Conflict between parents is ongoing and unresolved
- Communication has broken down across the family
- Previous efforts have not led to meaningful change
How it works
Each family is supported by a team of professionals and guided through a structured process that includes:
Preparation and alignment with parents
Facilitated conversations with the family
Development of new communication patterns
Clear agreements for moving forward
The goal is to create lasting change, not just temporary solutions.
Program Formats
We offer two primary formats:
Ongoing Sessions
Regular sessions over time with different family members, allowing the family to work through challenges and build new patterns gradually.
Intensive Intervention
A concentrated, multi-day process designed to create momentum and accelerate progress when a more immersive approach is appropriate. A hybrid approach may also be recommended based on the needs of the family.
When Whole Family Intervention Is Court-Ordered
Whole Family Interventions are often part of a court-ordered process, with clear expectations for participation and follow-through. Our team works within the requirements of the court while helping families address entrenched conflict, improve communication and create healthier patterns moving forward.
