Community Based
Community and Family Support Services include mentoring, family aide, parent aide, transportation, tracking, counseling, family therapy, or other in-home or community based services.

Services are appropriate to children and family facing the difficulty of re-entry into the community following an episode of “out-of-home care”, or for families who are working to prevent separation of the family members. The goal of this program array is to provide the needed service to assure safety and functionality in the community.

Court Diversion
Eight Week Diversion-Intensive Supervision Services help children who present serious problems which, though often accompanied by a DSM* diagnosis, are most often described in legal and social terms.

Such children have exhibited enough symptoms to be diagnosed as Conduct Disordered. They have difficulty and may well find current participation in public school impossible. They exhibit problems with authority and are in conflict with parents. They have often stolen, been involved in experimental substance abuse and have been truant. They may also show little signs of remorse for wrongdoings. They must have a family willing to accept responsibility along with the child. The family must be willing to accept the child back into the home at the close of treatment and work with the child in the treatment process. (*Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-IV)

Educational Support
Children who are behind academically, who have been expelled for behavior problems, or who are in need of more individualized attention need more than the traditional public school classroom can sometimes provide. Here, children are given individualized attention, testing and counseling in coordination with local and home school districts

No child is accepted into care, or remains in care, without a plan to satisfy educational needs.

Emergency Care

Emergency Care offers a 30-day placement resource for children who need a planned program of safety, structure and supervision on a residential basis when determined by a state agency or court.

Family-Focused Care
Family Focused Residential Treatment expedites the child's return home by involving the child and family in treatment and helping the family identify resources in the community.

This program's goal is to move the child from a more restrictive treatment setting, and reduce or eliminate the child's involvement with problematic behaviors.

Treatment works toward increasing family empowerment and decreasing reliance on an intensive service delivery.

Foster Care
Foster Care services provide a temporary living arrangement that provides parenting and a safe home for children who cannot stay in their homes because of a severe family problem. Children need foster families for a few days, months or years.

The goal of foster care is to reunite families or to provide children with a permanent home. During placement, social workers try to help the biological parents solve family problems so the children can go home. Sometimes this is not possible, and an alternative plan is made.

Intensive Services Unit
Intensive Secure Residential Treatment helps children who exhibit a serious persistent and pervasive mental disorder as diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM-IV). This extended placement resource provides active coordinated and professional intervention in a highly structured and secure environment for a number of diagnostic entities.

Children appropriate for intensive secure residential treatment typically display an inability to function consistently in an open, public school setting and present a chronic runaway risk. They also typically present a history of showing rage, including acting-out behavior or depression.

Psychiatric supervision and review of a child's individual treatment and any medication is provided by a psychiatrist.
