The average stay is from nine to eighteen months. Residents attend school on the grounds of the home. We also offer a GED program in collaboration with a local technical institute. Our academic program consists of a curriculum designed for youth who have been left behind in public school. Vocational and life skills are another important area of focus.
Tutors are available to work with each child on and individual basis.
Residents have access to 24 hour on call psychiatric counseling service, a 24 hour on call physician, counselors, houseparents, and administrative staff. One of our goals is to provide the family unit with family counseling, so that the child will not only be helped, but the family too. Each child is screened by our psychiatric staff to ensure that his needs can be met and exceeded by our professional staff. This is home to our residents therefore we provide a family setting to maintain or to expand our youth's ability to express and feel love. Like other families, we experience and share good times and bad times too.
