[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 348244, member: 2423"] My son has a "principles coach" at his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) -- in effect, a mentor. This mentor is not a trained therapist, but certainly aware of the reasons why my son was placed at his Residential Treatment Center (RTC). His mentor takes him out to play catch, shoot baskets, go hiking, grab a drink at Starbucks, buy clothing if my son needs it (on our dime), or anything else my son wants to plan. The purpose is for my son to have another adult in his life to bond with and share his thoughts with. This mentor will be available to my son by phone when he leaves his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) We've been told that the first three months out of placement are the most critical to get through to prevent relapse and that the more positive role models a teen in trouble can be surrounded by, the less likely relapse will occur. I'm wondering if that is why this mentoring program is being set up. [/QUOTE]
