dc.description.abstractThe aim of this capstone is to address the persistent gap between evidence-based best practices and clinical implementation of parental involvement in child-focused therapy. Despite research highlighting the importance of parental engagement, many child-focused clinicians lack confidence in integrating parents into therapeutic interventions. This capstone provides practical recommendations for clinicians to enhance their intake processes, with a focus on better assessing parental capacity for participation in their child's counselling. These improvements are designed to gather a more comprehensive understanding of the family system and the caregivers' social location while ensuring appropriate recognition of the child's consent and autonomy. The study proposes the implementation of evidence-based caregiver workshops and low-cost, self-directed parenting resources to enhance caregiver capacity. The findings have implications for improving the efficacy of child-focused therapy by optimizing parental involvement and support, ultimately leading to better outcomes for young clients.
