Our Family-Centered Approach

At Newport Healthcare, the family is a primary focus of our treatment process as we recognize that sustainable healing for teens and young adults involves treating the entire family as a unit. We support families while working to restore harmony, hosting family counseling to practice the coping and communication skills that are essential to building a healthy family. Through authentic connections with themselves, their peers and families, sustainable healing is possible; fear is replaced with love and disconnection is worked into connection, and the power of connection has never been more important than now.

Thus, we are dedicated to providing unwavering support for parents, by gathering together as a community, to offer resources, guidance and tools for parents navigating throughout these uncertain times.
