Transition planning is a component of the adolescent’s treatment for successful progression through the service continuum.  The Transition Worker will assist the adolescent through transitional periods or assist with a coordination of services as he/she is being prepared to either leave or enter the treatment centre.  Intervention is meant to be short.

Priority is given to Day Treatment and Residential adolescents as they are leaving treatment, especially for those whose parents have not been involved in treatment or if the adolescent’s behaviour remains somewhat difficult.

Transitional support is given if it is felt that he/she will need additional assistance in the community (home, school) after leaving any Frontenac program.
