During the transitional phase of the student's ASCENT experience, you are reunited with your child in an intensive celebration of family. Our Family Workshop creates an emotionally safe environment for reconciliation and reunification and provides:

Shared commitment to next steps for healing
Support for parents and connection with other parents
Specific tools to assist teens in their relationships with all family members
Mechanisms for parents to improve communication and strengthen boundaries

The cost of the Family Workshop is included in our tuition. Please ask your admissions counselor for more information about this powerful learning experience.
