The Group Care Program, housing six (6) female and/or male children and/or youth, provides a secure and safe living environment that addresses referral issues and on-going needs of the persons served. The programming consists of supports designed to further develop the basic skills of the persons served including communication, anger management, conflict resolution, peer relationships, and family issues.
The focus of the group care program will be to prepare and ready our clients for success in a less intrusive setting such as a return to their natural family, foster care, and/or a Supported Independent Living program. Specific programming will be provided to the person served and guardian upon intake. Specific programming is implemented by the Director, Home Supervisor, and front line staff members in the milieu.
The program is also designed to support children and youth with varying degrees of maladaptive behaviors, those with impacting mental health issues and/or clients experimenting or involved with criminal activity and/or on the periphery of such. The programming consists of supports designed to further develop the basic skills of the persons served including communication, anger management, conflict resolution, peer relationships, and family issues. The additional community and professional supports guide further Service Planning to address specific and intensive issues such as grief and loss, group counseling, individual counseling, and resources to assist in the identification of mental health concerns.
Our Group Living Program can be for short-term, long-term, or crisis situations. We are licensed by the CFS for 5 clients with a number of placements for 6 beds.
