We offer parents collaboration in treatment at Embrace U’s adolescent program in Brentwood, TN.
Just for Parents
It’s not uncommon for parents to have questions about their child’s mental health. Educating yourself is one of the best ways to get information and understanding about how your child is feeling and what they need from you. As a parent, it’s your desire to ensure that you have the best possible understanding of adolescent mental health. This will benefit not only your child’s well-being, but also create a more secure and supportive home environment.
About Parent U
Parent U, an Embrace U program, was created as an exceptional educational resource for navigating questions surrounding young people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, giving parents the tools they need to support their children in times of crisis or struggle. Being a parent is difficult, and when it comes to your child’s mental health, it can be even tougher. That’s why Parent U offers parents the resources they need with an informative approach that’s designed to educate and empower them to be the best parents they can be.
At Embrace U, we recognize the whole family is affected when a child has mental health issues. Parent U helps parents, and their adolescent children, learn new skills to complement the child’s progress during their participation in our Embrace U program. Through this multi-family psychoeducation group, participants discover how best to offer support for each other, in addition to gaining guidance from peers who can understand and relate firsthand to their child’s mental health struggles.
If your child is struggling with mental health concerns, contact us today or call 615-656-8624 to learn how our Brentwood teen treatment center can help improve your teen’s mental health.

How Does Parent U Work?
We hold one session each week from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Parents are welcome to join us in person or virtually as we discuss skills and strategies to help manage their child’s mental health. Parent U therapy sessions are an incredible opportunity to gain a better understanding and connection with your child’s progress in therapy. Parents can observe the ongoing progress, learn how they can further support at home, and foster a positive relationship between therapist and family.
Led by licensed therapists trained in adolescent mental health treatment and family psychotherapy, our group sessions provide invaluable opportunities to tackle difficult topics, such as how to communicate with teens, healthy behavior management techniques, and how to respond to self-harm. But that’s not all—these highly informative weekly gatherings are also an opportunity for parents of adolescents struggling with mental health concerns to come together and create valuable connections with others going through similar experiences so that nobody has to face this alone!
