Adolescent students typically communicate with parents during weekly family therapy sessions as well as through an additional private phone call each week. Young adult students and students living in transitional settings generally have significantly greater access to phone communication as part of practicing healthy independence and adult responsibility. Families are always welcome to schedule additional calls or visits when clinically appropriate. We encourage parents to coordinate communication and visitation needs through their primary therapist to ensure the experience remains supportive of each student’s treatment goals and progress.
