Almost every child who enters the Turning Winds program will change. However, long- term success depends a great deal upon the length of time a child is here and the follow- up that occurs with that child after his/her return home. Each child is given a “discharge plan” which contains goals for the individual child and the family. Some of these goals may include: family counseling, individual counseling, scheduled phone calls to the Turning Winds staff, e-mails to the Turning Winds staff, periodic return visits and return to our summer programs. Parents’ work is never done. Even after a stay at Turning Winds, a child’s re-entry into the home is essential and must be a learning experience for both the child and the parents. Each participant and his/her parent’s should use Turning Winds as a support mechanism for the long-term success of the family.
