Key Point Academy
Family Support and Troubled Teens
During this time that your child is enrolled at Key Point Academy, we understand that this is a delicate period for your family. We have various practices to help with the Family Support process. Rest assured, your family will consistently be in contact with us through out the enrollment of your child. Families will have scheduled weekly and monthly contact and visitations.
The strength of your family will increase through our structured routines for families.
The structured routines for families are as follows:
- Weekly updated reports on your child by phone from your Case Manager.
- Monthly phone calls w/ child based upon eligibility.
- Family visits w/ child based upon eligibility.
- Family therapy sessions to remedy residual issues with child.
- Academy implementation of family recommendations for child.
- Family transitional planning for your child & family.
- After care contact with child and family to insure successful internalization of your child.
Additional family support services will be provided upon admission and ongoing enrollment of your child.
Local Therapeutic Support
Key Point Academy strongly encourages you to interview therapists in your local area as quickly as you begin considering placement in a treatment program. Unlike most troubled teen boarding schools, we want you and your child to employ a local therapist throughout the treatment process, if possible. Most programs see therapists as an interference to initial placement, and therefore do not encourage their involvement until after residential placement is made.
Therapists can, however, be invaluable, both in helping you to recognize the need for temporary out-of-home placement, and in preparing you and your teen for the return home for long-term success. Although we cannot provide specific recommendations to therapists, we can provide names of therapists with whom we are familiar.
We are so committed to this process that Key Point Academy will pay for the first two months of aftercare therapy (maximum of $500 per month for two months, totalling $1,000), provided you have retained the service of a licensed therapist. Our goal is to help you develop the strongest treatment team possible, employing not only Key Point Academy, but also other professionals and interested parties, all of whom will join with you to help your child.
