The Vive! Program - What We Do

The Vive! program addresses the needs of young people who have struggled emotionally or behaviorally, addressing these struggles in the context of the young person's real world and family system.

Vive!'s team of professional therapists delivers a powerful combination of mentoring, therapy, and parent coaching directly to you and your teen right where you live, work, play, and go to school. The result is an effective, sustainable, reality-based solution for the whole family.

Vive!'s integrated program has proven effective for teens, young adults and their families who need help with:

• Early intervention - guidance for a teen who has just begun to veer onto an unhealthy track
  
• Transition and aftercare - support for a teen returning from residential treatment
  
• Independent living - support for a young adult who is, or soon will be, living away from home

Length of Program

Families and family situations are wonderfully varied. The time it takes to see positive results, therefore, varies significantly from family to family. Most parents begin to see positive changes within 2 - 4 months. Families who have worked with Vive! continuously for 12 - 14 months have achieved the highest levels of success and sustained health.

The duration of a family's engagement with Vive! is ultimately that family's decision and is generally based upon progress toward the goals specified in the family's Individual Family Plan (IFP). This decision is best made in consultation with the treatment team, which typically includes the family's educational consultant, therapist, and Vive! staff.
