Family Engagement Initiative
Support. Encourage. Empower.
The Family Engagement Initiative involves ALL Pressley Ridge staff, from executive leadership, to clinicians, to direct-care staff, to front line office staff – with the intent to create a culture of treating youth by involving families in their child’s care, no matter the volume or complexity of family issues or severity of the child’s needs.
Mother, father, sister, brother—these are the words often used to define family, but at Pressley Ridge, we believe families are so much more than their parts. With support from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, we are implementing The Family Engagement Initiative. We believe that treatment should be a family endeavor—that every family member plays an important role in helping a child mend.

The Family Engagement Initiative is an effort by Pressley Ridge to provide truly effective family therapy by implementing an agency-wide shift in culture where family-based treatment is ingrained in our operations and across service lines and programs.
The purpose of the Family Engagement Initiative is to provide education and training to agency staff and to families with the ultimate goal of empowering families to become a part of the treatment team by involving them in their child’s treatment while at Pressley Ridge.
