Our group homes program provides a comprehensive therapeutic living situation that is caring, structured, and individualized. Providing environments that increase the opportunity for each client to develop to his fullest potential with the primary goal is to return the client to a safe and secure family life.
Each minor receives an initial assessment to determine history, severity of presenting problems and assignment of needed services. This process begins with an overview with our Intake Worker, who reviews available court, social work or probation documentation as well as interviewing the minor, his caseworker or probation officer and other available parties.
Each client receives individual counseling with his licensed clinician covering a variety of subject matters, i.e., depression, anxiety, anger issues, abuse history, sexual issues, impulse control, etc. The client’s family is involved in therapy thru the family and multi-family modules.
Each child is supported throughout his daily routine by a paraprofessional staff who uses their time helping the minors learn appropriate ways of interacting effectively with peers and with adults.
