10 Challenges of Transition/Aftercare

  1. Unawareness of the “culture shock” of being home; the elasticity of home environment, the multitude of options and choices
  2. Push/pull of the family system (in an attempt to reach maintain homeostasis) to have things go back to “normal”
  3. Not establishing a supportive and understanding academic setting for the student. School should be an “informed” location for student to learn
  4. Transition or transition plan commencing “too late.” Ideally the discussion and specifics of Home Agreement are 6-8 weeks prior to graduation (though transition begins at admission!)
  5. Vetting and determining differences and options of a program transition plan versus a home (local, community) transition program
  6. Needing to familiarize home therapist about modality, curriculum, efficacy and philosophy of wilderness and residential treatment programs.
  7. Students missing the company of and or access to peers and staff (which they are accustomed to having nearly 24/7)
  8. Students feel “over – therapized” and disinterested in therapy or counseling upon returning home.
  9. Students saying that while certain supports were effective while in treatment (journaling, using DBT skills, taking PRT) they don’t want to have to use them at home.
  10. The realization upon return that student has when parents have not “done their own work.” Resentment, frustration and temporary setback in commitment to adhering to Home Agreement.
