She left a private practice of 25 years to pursue this position, after hearing of the meaningful work being done at Calo, and recognizing the parallels between her own philosophy in the treatment of children and adolescents with trauma and attachment needs, and the philosophy and practices at Calo. Chris received a Masters degree in counseling psychology from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where she graduated with honors. She also holds a degree in Special Education, and worked as a teacher and school counselor for ten years prior to entering private practice. Early in her career, Chris recognized the need, and became aware of her strong passion for helping children and adolescents and their families with the challenges of facilitating healing and growth following experiences of early childhood neglect, trauma, and family separations. Her practice focused on children who were adopted, were in the process of being adopted, or were in the foster care system awaiting some type of permanency in their lives. She has extensive experience in individual and family therapy services, both in the office and in the home setting. Through the course of her work in private practice, Chris worked for 10 years with an associate professor of psychiatry at Columbia University who specializes in attachment and trauma, along with a team of therapists from around the country, treating families through intensive treatment experiences. This experience provided her with valuable training in working with families in crisis. Through this process she participated in a research study and co-published the results of that study documenting the success of the intensive treatment model. Chris maintains her excitement about the opportunity to work with the students at Calo and their families, as well as the specialized team of professionals. She feels privileged to be a part of the growth and positive change of the Calostudents and their families. Chris and her husband, Scott are enjoy the lake area, with many visits from their three adult sons and their families, which include two grandchildren.","business_phone":"","first_name":"Chris ","team_member_at":false,"cell_phone":"","middle_name_initial":"","user_relationship":false,"last_name":"Austin","linkedin":"","credentials":["MA","LPC","NCC"],"facebook":"","role":"Executive Clinical Director","youtube":"","psychology_today":"","ID":32870,"post_title":"Chris Austin","post_content":"","post_excerpt":"","post_author":"45","post_date":"2023-12-18 14:51:56","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-18 21:51:56","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chris-austin","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-12-20 16:42:23","post_modified_gmt":"2023-12-20 23:42:23","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/?post_type=team_20&p=32870","menu_order":0,"post_type":"team_20","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","comments":false,"_thumbnail_id":["0","31754","45","2023-11-28 11:59:01","2023-11-28 18:59:01","","Chris Austin","","inherit","","closed","","chris-austin-3","","","2023-11-28 11:59:01","2023-11-28 18:59:01","","31753","https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chris-Austin.jpg","0","attachment","image\/jpeg","0","31754"],"team_category":false,"team_location":[{"term_id":"1545","name":"Calo Teens","slug":"calo-teens","term_group":"0","term_order":"0","term_taxonomy_id":"1545","taxonomy":"team_location","description":"","parent":"0","count":"16","object_id":"33456","pod_item_id":"1545"}],"id":32870},{"director_at":[31432],"email":"","intro":"Kendra Meiklejohn, LCSW, Clinical Director, was born and raised in the beautiful mountains of Montana, where she developed a deep appreciation for the natural world.","prefix":"","bio":"Kendra Meiklejohn, LCSW, Clinical Director, was born and raised in the beautiful mountains of Montana, where she developed a deep appreciation for the natural world.

There, your teen daughter or son will participate in the school's academic program and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/behavioral-health-and-mental-health-treatment\/\">receive behavioral therapy<\/a> and often, family therapy as well, while participating in recreational activities or service opportunities in the local area.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Typically, a therapeutic boarding school is a highly-structured residential treatment program that helps young people build emotional and personal skills while continuing their education.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t<h2>The Benefits of Therapeutic Boarding Schools for Teenagers<\/h2>\n<p>Therapeutic boarding schools can be an excellent option for troubled teens or troubled youth who need lighter treatment than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/our-programs\/?_categories=residential-treatment-center\">residential treatment<\/a> but still require some structure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Therapeutic boarding schools offer educational programs that are integrated within the therapeutic program and include specialized supervision for students with behavioral and emotional problems - from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/eating-disorders-in-teens\/\">eating disorders<\/a> to low self-esteem issues - as well as learning difficulties or learning disabilities - like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/adhd-in-teens\/\">ADHD<\/a> and Asperger's.<\/p>\n<p>Often, teens transition to a therapeutic boarding school following successful residential treatment. This can help them maintain the gains they received in their prior treatment. Teens who are compliant in the treatment process and do not require intensive treatment are good candidates for a therapeutic boarding school.<\/p>\n<h2>Ways to Find a Therapeutic Boarding School for Your Child<\/h2>\n<p>When searching for a therapeutic boarding school for your teenage daughter or son, the first step you may want to take is to consider working with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/therapeutic-educational-consultants\/\">independent therapeutic educational consultant<\/a> or mental health professional to define the needs of your child.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Educational consultants can assist you by providing a list of the best therapeutic boarding schools for your family to consider. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>These consultants can reference membership associations like the Independent Educational Consultant Association (IECA) or the Therapeutic Consulting Association (TCA) to help you find the right accredited and licensed program for your child, for the right reason, at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>Then, after narrowing down your family's therapeutic boarding school options with an educational consultant and speaking with the school directly, it is important to ask prospective schools about accreditation, admissions criteria, costs and licensure.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In addition, asking questions about the academic curriculum, staff training and qualifications will be helpful when considering a therapeutic boarding school for your child as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Embark Behavioral Health can assist your family in your treatment journey, by connecting you with an independent, unaffiliated educational consultant. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> to learn more about how to work with an independent educational consultant not affiliated with Embark.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/therapeutic-boarding-schools\/\" title=\"Therapeutic Boarding School Locations\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\tTherapeutic Boarding School Locations\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/locations\/lake-house-academy\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\tFlat Rock, NC\n\t\t<h3>Lake House Academy<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/locations\/chrysalis\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\tEureka, MT\n\t\t<h3>Chrysalis<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/locations\/sunrise-residential-treatment-center\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\tHurricane, UT\n\t\t<h3>Sunrise Residential<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/locations\/calo-teens\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\tLake Ozark, MO\n\t\t<h3>Calo Programs<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/locations\/new-haven-residential-treatment-center\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\tSpanish Fork, UT\n\t\t<h3>New Haven<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<h2>Therapeutic Boarding Schools for Teens: FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) that families often have when considering therapeutic boarding schools for their teens:<\/p>\n<h4>Q: How long will my child be enrolled in the school?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> It will depend on his\/her needs, but typically, after enrollment, students live in a therapeutic boarding school for one to two years.<\/p>\n<h4>Q: Where does my daughter or son go after successfully completing a therapeutic boarding school?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> These programs offer academic credits that can transfer to other teen boarding schools, or secondary schools, as well as grant high school diplomas.

These centers serve as places for youth to have an independent life while slowly transitioning back into society, using the resources and tools gained at their residential treatment center.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Providing a place of encouragement and support, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/our-programs\/?_search_box=transition\">transitional living programs<\/a> offer young adults a launching point, knowing they can handle the stressors of everyday life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Learn more about transitional housing, why it is crucial in recovery, and what teens and young adults can expect while living in one.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Transitional Living?<\/h2>\n<p>Transitional living programs are places for young people to move after completing a residential treatment program. Typically, your teen or young adult child will stay in a program like this for about six to eighteen months, but stays can be longer or shorter depending on each individual's needs.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, most transitional housing centers are autonomous and have no affiliation with government entities or larger organizations. Because of this, they often charge a monthly fee or rent. In return, they provide a clean, comfortable and safe place to live while also providing a care plan.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Although residents of the transitional living programs can be self-admitted, most usually come from residential treatment centers where they have received a referral to a transitional home for further healing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Transitional living centers provide a place for people recovering to gain confidence, re-establish their identity and self-worth, and find compassion and love through personal relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Most programs feature home-like living situations where residents, staff, and volunteers cooperate in a family-like relationship while teaching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embarkbh.com\/blog\/teen-life-skills\/\">life skills<\/a>. More than a halfway house, transitional housing strives for complete healing.<\/p>\n\t<h2>How Can Transitional Living Help Teens Heal?<\/h2>\n<p>While young people find initial healing at residential treatment centers, there are still complex life issues that each person will have to find a way to deal with while recovering. These can require unique guidance. Transitional living centers provide a safe and secure environment to launch back into society while still having a structured living environment that reinforces the foundation of newfound life skills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transitional living can help older youth and young adults struggling with recovery to identify:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to handle real-life situations<\/li>\n<li>Stress cues<\/li>\n<li>Triggers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Benefits of Transitional Living<\/h2>\n<p>Recovery is an ongoing process, and transitional living can play a crucial role in full recovery and wellness. There are many benefits to these programs, and several studies continue to show how vital transitional living can be after residential treatment for teenagers and young adults.<\/p>\n<p>The support in transitional living offers a variety of benefits for your teen daughters and sons who may be recovering:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>People recovering can <strong>slowly integrate themselves using the tools learned at their residential treatment center.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>People living in a transitional center have <strong>onsite support and the opportunity to make friends outside of the house.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Transitional living <strong>provides a safe and stable atmosphere away from harmful influences.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Transitional living <strong>provides structure.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Transitional living serves as a <strong>gradual re-entrance into a community and back into a healthy lifestyle.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Transitional living<strong> provides an opportunity to reconnect with family, friends and even find or resume employment at a slower pace.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Transitional living programs can <strong>help residents understand money management, paying bills and working.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What to Expect From Transitional Living Programs<\/h2>\n<p>Transitional living is different from a residential treatment center, and it can be challenging for your teen or young adult daughters and sons to adjust to the new responsibilities that come with the move.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that the purpose of a center like this is to prepare young people for the \"real world.\" So, unlike residential treatment centers, meals are not provided and recreation is not planned. There is a new level of independent living that may be hard and may threaten recovery.<\/p>\n<p>However, transitional living also provides support and people who know what your child is going through in the program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To keep these centers as places of healing and effective life skills training, there are important rules that residents must follow:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Active involvement in healing and continued recovery efforts<\/li>\n<li>No sexual contact with other residents<\/li>\n<li>No violence<\/li>\n<li>Prompt payment<\/li>\n<li>Show respect at all times for other residents, their belongings and physical property<\/li>\n<li>Smoking or vaping is allowed in some centers, but only in designated areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h2>Start Your Family's Healing Journey With Embark Behavioral Health<\/h2>\n<p>If your teen or young adult child suffers from depression, mood disorders, or other mental health concerns, Embark Behavioral Health is here to help.
