Families are supported through family therapy, improving communication, identifying community resources, visitation, and regular contact with their child. Individualized educational programming, mental health services, social skills (including appropriate recreation), communication skills, and building resilience are utilized to promote growth.

Towards that end, community (mental health, education, employment, recreation) resources are explored for the returning student and family.
