Resident Phone Call Privileges
As an incentive within our behavioral management program, residents who consistently exceed expectations and exhibit positive behavior are allowed to make weekly phone calls to their parents or guardians. Phone call privileges are intended to help the youth and their guardian to work on positive communication and relationship building.
