[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 552411, member: 1169"] Bunny -- TLP is the Transitional Living Program, it is just across the parking lot from her current home. She gets new staff but the old staff is still available to her informally. She is still required to go to school, to go to work, to do chores, take her medications, and participate in therapy. Once she finishes her transition into TLP, she is free to do what she pleases 8am-11pm (midnight on non-school nights) as long as she does those few things. In fact, she doesn't have to really do her chores, she gets $75/week just for staying in TLP and she can pay another resident to do her chores (although it is more likely that she will find 2-3 residents who will pay her to do their chores; it sounds absolutely crazy but she could bring in $1500+ a month but all of her room/board expenses are covered) I get that it teaches them to equate working with money but it will be a huge shock for her when she goes to her own apartment, loses the $1200+ that is pure Residential Treatment Center (RTC) fantasy. She'll have to try and survive in a low income controlled apartment and about $600/month to cover everything else. [/QUOTE]
