Helping Kids. Preserving Families.

Parenting is hard! Parenting children who have difficult behaviors is even harder. Challenges can escalate when behaviors become difficult to manage, leading to frustration and strained relationships. Chaddock's Family Coaching program offers individualized support to help parents - whether married, single, step-parents or foster parents - develop strategies and interventions to reduce challenging behaviors in order to create more harmony in the home.

Our Family Coaches are individuals with extensive experience providing day-to-day care for children and adolescents in Chaddock’s Developmental Trauma and Attachment Program (DTAP). The DTAP program has earned a national reputation for successfully serving some of the country’s most challenging children suffering from the effects of attachment issues and developmental trauma. Our skilled coaches tailor interventions based on your family's unique needs.

Family Coaches use principles and methods influenced by:

  • Theraplay®
  • Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI)
  • Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy® (DDP)
  • Video Intervention

Although the coaches have training in the above models, they are not therapists. Their focus is on helping parents live out their day to day life with stronger tools to handle behavioral challenges with their children. Having worked side by side with therapists, Chaddock family coaches are skilled at incorporating therapist recommendations and clinical models into general parenting practices. At Chaddock, we believe that the greatest degree of healing and the establishment a behavioral management plan happens in the day to day interactions our talented coaches have with our Chaddock kids. We bring that formula of success to your family through this program.
