Educational Resources recognizes the need for support services
for adolescents returning home from wilderness programs
and specialized boarding schools. Our program is designed
to be a bridge back into the family and community. Transition
team members work closely with family members, teachers,
and local therapists to make the transition a successful
experience.
To maximize
and strengthen the positive, life-enhancing skills the student
has learned in their specialized program.

| Why do we need
transition services? |
• |
Studies indicate
adolescents are most vulnerable to peer pressure during the
first 12-18 weeks after returning home. |
| • |
Most parents
are fearful their child will reconnect with their negative
peer group. |
| • |
Parents and
adolescents often resume unsuccessful communication patterns
and negative family dynamics. |
