Programs

              

The Residential Treatment Program is a licensed 20-bed facility and treatment program for adolescent girls ages 11 to 18 with emotional and/or behavioral problems. The program provides individual and group therapy, treatment for sexual abuse, family counseling, public school and on-site transitional classroom services, psychiatric consultation and assessment, and a structured 24-hour supervised group living in two residential cottages.

The Foster Care Program is a licensed child placing program in which boys and girls of all ages are nurtured in a home setting where consistent treatment is implemented. The program includes foster parent recruitment and certification, 24-hour on call intensive support, counseling/home consultation, adolescent therapy and self-esteem group, foster parent support group, psychiatric consultation, and continuing in-service training. The Adoption Services is an expansion of the Foster Care Program that offers foster parents the opportunity to adopt eligible children placed in their care, enabling the children in the foster care homes to transition to permanent placements through adoption.

Case Management Services is a community-based program for at-risk children, ages 3 to 21, where essential services are coordinated to meet the child’s complex treatment needs. Professional case managers assist in developing, coordinating, and accessing services for children who need medical, education, social, and other support services. The services are designed to coordinate interagency teams to aid in the development of a family support plan and monitor progress of the child and their family.

Therapeutic Child Support Program is a Medicaid-eligible in-home service for children under the age of 21 and their families focusing on the enhancement of appropriate social behaviors and daily living skills. The children served have complex behavioral healthcare needs and are at-risk for institutionalization.

Supervised Visitation and Monitored Exchange Program provides opportunities for non-custodial parents or other designated family members to maintain contact with their children in a safe and neutral setting.

Volunteer Services recruits mentors to develop one-to-one relationship with the children served. Mentors act as role models, provide positive life experiences for the child, and fill the void when families are not directly involved. Volunteer groups provide recreational and instructional programs, which allow the child to learn new activities in addition to providing them with opportunities to develop positive social skills.
