Yes, and it is strongly encouraged. Child and adolescent psychiatric programs are family-centred by design, and most partner facilities have accommodation for one or both parents adjacent to the clinical unit. Parents participate actively in therapy sessions, psychoeducation workshops, and transition planning. Where inpatient care is required, a parent is typically permitted to stay overnight. The patient coordinator will help arrange family accommodation near the hospital and advise on visa requirements for accompanying parents.
