Wellspring Quality Care, Inc. utilizes a blend of primary therapeutic models to ensure that the children and youth served through this program are respected, involved, and have the greatest potentials for learning and applying new skills. This program combines the Client-Centered approach with Trauma-Informed Practice.
Wellspring Quality Care, Inc. believes that all individuals, regardless of ability or disability, have unique values, personalities, histories, and goals. Equally, all individuals, regardless of ability or disability, have an equal right to participate fully in their lives, be honored for their personal thoughts and ideas and to be treated with inherent dignity and respect.
The Client-Centered Approach philosophy is founded upon an interactive process with the client, their care providers, the Wellspring Quality Care, Inc. team, the extended team of supports and the client’s family. All persons belong to a collaborative process of integrated services in which the focus is on the individual as opposed to the issues and on the individual’s strengths as abilities as opposed to barriers.
Our Mission
Wellspring Quality Care, Inc. is dedicated to empowering at-risk youth in our community to make positive life choices that enable them to maximize their individual potential. Our firm belief is that every child deserves a chance if given the right support and encouragement.”
Wellspring Quality Care, Inc. believes that the holistic teachings based on the Circle of Courage model can be used to identify issues impacting our children and guide our healing response. This model, presented visually, is a circle with four spokes – supports that are needed to keep the wheel strong and true. Through exposure to a variety of therapeutic and cultural environments, children and youth can learn new ways of developing the four key areas – Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity.
Empowering youth and children requires the exposure to varieties of skill-enhancing opportunities in the milieu, culture, and community. This unique and holistic approach to programming will allow our youth and children to build a diverse skill set in addition to increasing confidence in their abilities. Furthermore, this will allow our clients to gather the necessary “tools” to overcome any obstacles that they may encounter.
