Nexus Family Partnership Initiative

Supporting Families Before, During, & After Treatment

At Nexus, we understand that residential treatment is just one step toward a happier, brighter future for you and your child. To achieve lasting healing and healthy change, family relationships that were damaged by long-standing emotional or behavioral issues must be deepened and repaired. That’s why we partner with families right from the beginning.

Our Family Partnership Initiative is our promise to support positive family interactions during a child’s treatment. We do that by really listening to and including family in treatment decisions, helping families maintain contact with their child, developing effective communication with staff, involving family in the child’s day-to-day care and activities, creating positive family experiences and memories during treatment, and working with family to promote healthy change and lasting healing.

We believe that family provides the most important support in a child’s life, and that a strong connection to family is important to a youth’s lasting recovery. We also know that when a child enters treatment, the whole family is affected. Youth and families come to Nexus after struggling for years with aggressive or abusive behavior, family relationship challenges, anxiety and depression issues, cutting behaviors, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, chemical dependency, reactive attachment disorder, trauma-based mental health issues, and cognitive distortions.

We help youth and families regain control through a proven treatment program that provides real hope and lasting success. Nexus has been helping children and families for decades. Let us help you.

We Believe:

A lasting family connection is vital to a youth’s successful treatment outcome.
All children in our care should be treated like our own.
Family connection is every child’s basic right and necessity. Our rules will support, rather than hinder, healthy family interactions.
Open and ongoing communication is the key to effective family partnerships.
Family involvement is necessary throughout the treatment process and the family is our partner in treating the youth in our care.
Family education and connection to appropriate resources is a vital part of the Nexus treatment model.
