What is an Private Online Parent Community?

What is an Private Online Parent Community?

It is a secure, login, “chat room”, that your parents utilize through your Schools website. New families, current families, and Alumni finally have the chance to login through your Schools site and offer support to one another, gain insight and collaborate with your staff.

Typically your Schools Community will be broken into several Forums, reflecting student groups, photo galleries, School Calendar, General Discussions, Alumni areas, etc. All of this while in a secure location only welcome to the families or visitors of your choosing.

Why it Works: (simple overview)

There is a common movement on Schools sites, you are seeing Parent Services tabs popping up with much more frequency, appealing directly to prospective parents. They realize parents are eager to be involved and comforted with the decision they have made, and many more decisions to come. Now you can support each parents hunger to be involved. Simply bring your support group to them … in their own living room, home office, at work, airports, in the US or abroad. They can be connected anywhere. It is support they can access 24/7, anytime of the day or night, 365 days a year.

“One of the most important trends in private residential schools and programs for children with problems has been to bring parents into the loop,”

Core Solutions Parent Community - Two Years Later

…Where Parents and Staff are Thriving…Right Now!

By Randall Cook

Two years ago, when Core Solutions was introduced to our field, it was met with its fair share of critics and skepticism. In all fairness, most startups would experience some level of resistance, perhaps even more so when introducing a new service to the family healing field. On the other hand there were those who could immediately see the obvious advantages that our service would proved their group or School; instant transparency, strengthened credibility and additional support for their current and prospective parents.

Core Solutions operates private, secure online bulletin boards, customized to reflect and brand a School’s website look and feel. Parents access their online Community through their School’s website. Aside from having created a turnkey system that takes out all of the guesswork implementing a secure, easy, successful launch, Core Solution’s role is to continually monitor and maintain all aspects of the online Community.

Schools benefit by having a system where their parents can rally together in family healing. Parents work together to keep one another strong and support their child’s program. They gain insight from peers who have “been there, done that” and can speak to the process of enrollment to graduation. They encourage each other to stay open to learning and growing alongside their son or daughter.

“I have found the service Core Solutions provides to be incredibly helpful. It is helpful at the therapeutic school my son goes to because they use it as a message board for parents. I love that his school is so open to parents getting to know each other and support each other.” M.R., Parent of Enrolled Student

Core Solutions stats, to date:

1,000 families: currently being served

1,000 logins per day: families utilize their Community to stay current and invest back into their School.

1,000’s of photos posted: life on campus, parent seminars, and students seminars, family visits, activities, graduations, community involvement, etc.

90% enrollment within 7 days: Schools who utilize their board as a pre-admission tool for prospective families, have 90% placement rate within 7 days.

10,000+ topics posted by parents and staff: The active participation and experience posted are contributions for other parents to draw from.

48 States and 11 Countries: Net connection erases physical boundaries creating unity and support.

Schools we serve thrive because they offer services that attract families who want to engage in solutions vs. a program solely focused on the child. Though families may be spread across the planet Earth, technology shrinks that gap. We deliver this in a valuable, secure, user-friendly system.

“Sending our child to the “wilderness” in the hands of escorts and then moving him to a TBS has brought heartbreak and joy at the same time. The feelings of joy came with renewed hope that this out of control teen has an opportunity to start over and be renewed mentally, emotionally, and physically. The experience is overwhelming and isolating because there are so few families that can share this- or that will share it openly. The family and friends forum is uplifting and enlightening and certainly promotes the whole concept of “parents mentoring parents”. Thank you for establishing this community.” G.G, Parent of Enrolled Student
