Collaboration

There are many ways that therapists collaborate with each other to provide the highest quality of care for their clients. I personally find it valuable to collaborate with other professionals around issues of ethics, for case consultations, to process the hard parts about holding space for people who struggle, and to stay up-to-date on relevant information in the field.

When it comes to working with young men, there’s one guy in particular that I turn to. He’s serving many individuals and families out in Portland, Oregon and we met in grad school. Full disclosure, he is a very good friend of mine, as well as a colleague, that I respect tremendously.

I would encourage everyone to check out his website, where he has linked several great resources, some specifically for parents of adolescents.

I’m very excited about a specific resource we collaborated on:

“Guide for Parents of Adolescents”

I think this could be very helpful for families who are spending more time in close quarters during the Covid-19 crisis.
