The Charlton School

In January a new client support group will begin on the campus of The Charlton School.  The focus of this group will depend largely on the needs of the participants but it is designed to help and support our students and their families as they pursue their goals.  In the first group meeting in January the group will discuss future meeting times, length of the group and identify discussions/topics that members find useful in both working with students while in placement, as well as ongoing preparation for their return to their homes, school and community. 

     In the past Family support groups and Multi-Family Therapy groups have proven very helpful to our families, who often feel alone in their attempts to grow as a family and to prepare for the return of their daughters.  Besides emotional support, our Family Groups also provides useful information and practical guidance through shared experiences.  It is also a way to optimize the efficient use of Charlton’s resources in helping families.

Update: Our first group was held on 01/16/12.  Six parents attended and there was great participation.  The next group is scheduled for 02/27/12 at 6:00 PM.
