Who can visit and how is visitation arranged?
All students at Germaine Lawrence are encouraged and assisted in visiting their home, foster home or relatives. These visits are negotiated by parents, Germaine Lawrence staff and funding agencies, on an individual basis depending on a student s treatment plan. In most cases students start off with visits on campus and slowly move to longer visits in the community and then at home. Relatives, Social Workers, Lawyers, etc. are encouraged to give the program twenty four hour notification prior to visiting. The Treatment Coordinator will also maintain weekly phone contact to discuss how visits have gone, answer any questions and continue to provide support for all family members.
