Contact with Your Child
You are an important part of your child’s treatment. With your help, a list of individuals
who can safely exchange phone calls with your child will be developed and certain
times of the week established for calls. In addition, you will be asked to participate
in family therapy and conferences with your child’s therapist. Nexus will work with
families who require financial or transportation assistance to make visits possible.
Nexus also offers videoconferencing at no cost to accommodate parents and children who
are separated by distance.
