Programs

1. Family Home Services consist of family homes for adolescents. These family homes are a family style, community-based residential program, which can serve six to eight girls or boys, usually ages 12-17. Married couples called Family Teachers are the primary treatment agents, along with a full-time Assistant Family Teacher. Family Teachers are responsible for structured supervision of youth in daily living and treatment activities. The couple and their assistant work on both treatment and skill building in the home with community and family resources in the childs life. A major focus of this program is teaching older youth functional skills - often referred to as independent-living-skills- that can help them achieve success in school, their families, and work settings. Educational activities occur both in the home and in the community-based school settings. Staff members work closely with social services and other referral sources to establish permanency for these children.
