Many Vineyard students come to us after experiencing a mental health crisis, seeking essential tools to understand and manage strong emotions. Our Vineyard therapists are experts in helping students gain a deep understanding of their unique strengths and challenges. Additionally, our team supports your child in learning and practicing strategies that will empower them to navigate mental health challenges and thrive in everyday life.
For some students, Vineyard is a first stop in their therapeutic journey. Because acuity levels tend to be higher than levels seen in aftercare, insurance companies are more likely to reimburse some or all of a child’s stay at Vineyard. Our complimentary in-house billing services average 140 days of coverage for the typical out-of-network student.
Vineyard’s secure environment plays a pivotal role in facilitating healing. When young people struggling with emotional and behavioral issues are placed in a safe and supportive setting, they can begin to rebuild trust in themselves and their surroundings. This security provides a foundation for therapeutic progress, as it reduces the constant stress and anxiety often experienced by these teens. In a secure environment, they can open up and engage in the therapeutic process, knowing they are protected from harm. This sense of safety fosters a space for self-reflection, emotional growth, and the development of healthier coping mechanisms.
Vineyard stands out in its dedication to ensuring a smooth transition for its students as they move on to the next phase of their therapeutic journey, whether returning home or entering another program. Vineyard relies on transition planning experts specializing in this critical phase. These professionals work closely with families to create a comprehensive care team. This personalized approach eases the transition process and ensures that students are well-prepared for their next steps, helping them carry the valuable lessons and progress achieved at Vineyard into their ongoing therapeutic journey.
Some students will return home following Vineyard. Others will move on to therapeutic programs outside of the Telos family of programs. There are several options for those who choose to stay with a Telos program. If recommended aftercare points you to a Telos program, this can be a familiar and easy transition for your child, who will already be familiar with the staff and culture of the Telos settings.
