Following the conclusion of the workshop, the participants take a minimum 5–day vacation to assist in consolidating the gains they achieved during the workshop before returning home. The team leaders are available to take calls from the parent or child regarding any questions or to receive assistance in applying what they have learned.

Usually, prior to beginning the workshop, one or more local professionals are designated to provide aftercare and support to the family as needed. This local professional facilitates and/or monitors the situation and provides feedback as necessary and as ordered by the Court. In most cases the local professional has prior experience with the family, is recommended by a Court-appointed custody evaluator, parent coordinator, or child’s legal representative, or is appointed by the Court.

When an aftercare professional has been designated, Family Bridges works with that professional to provide information about the child’s experience in the workshop and to facilitate the coordination of the professional’s work with the learning that took place at Family Bridges.
