Family Counseling

Family Counselors work in tandem with Monarch staff providing individual guidance and communication to parents. The cost of these individual sessions is separate from tuition and can be submitted for insurance reimbursement. Regular phone calls and written reports are provided by the Family Counselor to parents regarding their child’s clinical needs and progress.

Family Counselors are fully integrated into the daily life of Monarch School students. Therapeutic sessions do not occur in the confines of an office or building. Most Monarch School students have experienced this approach with little success. Instead, Family Counselors work together with Monarch School staff, meeting the needs of the student in their environment. For example, Family Counselors may work in the garden with students, chopping wood, preparing a meal, taking walks, playing sports or having meals with students. Monarch School students build relationships based on trust and familiarity, which promotes a more meaningful opportunity for real growth and change.
