Family Centered Philosophy

CHIP contracts with a family therapist. This therapist provides training to CHIP facilitators who are delivering family-centered intervention. The family therapist documented the training program in CHIP's Clinical Training Manual. The training manual is augmented with information presented in workshops that provide ample opportunity for small group discussions. The graphic illustration below represents all the material in the Clinical Training Manual.
