It is a medium-security program in a rural residential setting. The teen mother must have completed phase three in the TYC Resocialization program, must have completed at least half of her minimum length of stay and not be a violent A or sentenced offender.
Babies can range in age from newborn up to three years old.
Each teen mother may have only one baby at the program, except for twins. In late September another mother arrived and was joined by her four-month old child. These family members are also the adults who can again take responsibility for the baby should that be necessary. The program can accommodate up to 12 mothers and their babies. The program aims to incorporate gender-specific services, or in other words, services that value the female perspective, and take into account female development issues.
