Psychoeducational therapy is a therapeutic approach that combines education and psychological support to enhance understanding and management of personal mental health conditions or those of a loved one. Calgary psychoeducational therapy begins with discussions to identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses, personality styles, and behavioral and emotional functioning. This process helps in creating a personalized plan to enhance your psychological and overall well-being.
A formal Calgary psychoeducational assessment is separate from therapy and is beneficial when a child, adolescent or adult is struggling in school with their academic performance and/or behavior. Our psychoeducational assessments are comprehensive and consist of an initial meeting, standardized assessment, scoring, analysis, interpretation, report writing and a debrief meeting. The goal is to create a better understanding of the factors impacting learning, to address the specific needs within an academic setting, and to have purposeful and timely intervention.
The core value of psychoeducation lies in its ability to empower individuals through knowledge. Understanding one’s own psychological and educational challenges demystifies conditions, reducing stigma and promoting a proactive attitude towards mental health and well-being. Benefits of psychoeducation include but are not limited to; improved coping strategies, enhanced problem-solving skills, better stress management, and a greater understanding of how to thrive in life! Psychoeducation is recognized as an essential component of the therapeutic process.
