The Transitions program is designed to comprehensively assess residents’ treatment needs to successfully eliminate barriers that prevent healthy family dynamics with family, adults, and peers. The program is supervised by a Clinical Services Manager who directs and coordinates individualized treatment planning. Life Skills Specialist, Recreation Specialist, and Child Care Specialists offer critical skill-building and resident supervision. An individualized treatment plan is developed and implemented utilizing an array of services in partnership and coordination with community resources.
