We usually recommend at least a year of aftercare following our program. This ranges from weekly family therapy, family support to long-term participational care. Aftercare planning begins at intake. Our intake coordinator will gather community resources for each student and the student's family.

Without the support of referring agencies, our program has no impact after the child returns home. It is critically important that we maintain active communication with your agency while the child is in our care, and after they return home. To ensure that this takes place a Crossings Social Worker phones you with weekly updates and ensures that aftercare resources are being arranged in concert with you. After the program you can have access to all daily reports and a trip summary and full exit report with recommendations for future care and follow-up issues being the focus. It is a privilege to be able to work with you and your client and we take this responsibility very seriously.

In addition, Crossings is in the developing stages of an innovative online aftercare. Program graduates will be able to access Crossings Social Workers live, once a week during online chats. Weekly supervised group chats will allow former participants to keep in touch and support each other. There will also be information to help graduates access services, develop resumes, and more. This will be a dynamic and engaging website and we are very excited to add this service for our participants.
