Professional intervention is crucial in managing a defiant and mentally ill adult child. Therapists and psychiatrists offer tailored strategies and family therapy to improve communication and address underlying issues. In cases of resistance, involving mental health professionals can facilitate access to necessary support and intervention. #ProfessionalHelp #TherapySupport #FamilyTherapy #MentalHealthIntervention

IF you are looking to start therapy in the new year, remember that only a licensed health care provider can offer psychotherapy services and/or treat mental health. I'll leave this right here for you: "The Board’s practice acts do not discuss life coaching. Life coaches are not regulated by any governmental entity. They are, however, prohibited from practicing in the scopes of practice of the professions regulated by the Board (Business and Professions Code (BPC) §§4980.02 for LMFTs, 4989.14 for LEPs, 4996.9 for LCSWs, and 4999.20 for LPCCs." -California Board of Behavioral Sciences If your coach or non-clinical support professional is acting as a psychotherapist, they are actually at risk of a felony charge. Like other health care providers, you cannot practice without an active license. Look for these initials: LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, LMHC, MD, PsyD, PhD #mentalhealth #therapy #psychotherapy #newyearsresolutions #counseling #coaching #lifecoaching #traumainformed #healthcare #mentalhealthtech

💯 I have been saying this on LinkedIn for ages. Coaching is not counseling. Coaches don't have the education, credentials, nor competency to sit with patients who have all manner of pathology, whether that be substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety etc. Please, do not be fooled by these people. There are legitimate paths we take to do this work and it's not an online certification.

"Continuum of care" is a comprehensive approach to healthcare where individuals receive coordinated support as they transition between different levels of care. In mental health treatment, this model ensures that individuals get seamless, consistent support throughout each stage of their recovery, whether they’re moving from inpatient to outpatient care or adjusting to evolving recovery needs. This continuity is especially important for teens, who are in a critical period of emotional and psychological development. With Lightfully's reliable continuum of care, teens can build trust and rapport with their providers, which is key for treatment effectiveness and adherence. They’re also less likely to experience setbacks that could disrupt school, relationships, and personal growth.
