Description
This study explored the clinical practice approaches, roles, and experiences used in home-based treatment to adolescents residing in a large city in the northeastern United States. Social work clinicians (N = 5) participated in a focus group to address the clinical roles, characteristics, and skills essential for reducing barriers related to adolescent engagement in home-based treatment, including the areas of competence, respect, empathy, and passion. Findings from this study included opportunities for clinicians to increase understanding of characteristics, skills, and experiences in home-based treatment, which may enhance the adolescent’s autonomy, decrease risk factors, and reduce the revolving door of treatment programs.
