Daily Individual Supportive
Counseling
This intervention assists the child in identifying his/her strengths and
weaknesses in the program. The caseworker helps the child see how issues being
worked on in the residential setting relate to the past, while relating these
same issues to the future.
30-Day Initial Home Assessment The
caseworker meets with the primary care taker in the home within the
first 30 days of the child ’s admittance to discuss the child ’s welfare.
This is a vital step in the strength-based assessment process where the
strengths and needs of the family are identified. This ensures that the family
is involved in developing a successful treatment plan for the child.
Weekly Cottage Group Sessions
The cottage group sessions are a supportive process designed to address
the child's adjustment to cottage life. These sessions allow the child to
develop their communication, social, and peer interaction skills.
Weekly Cottage Team Meetings
These meetings occur when the cottage, education, recreation, and
caseworker staff, meet to assess each child's goals and progress in the
program. This shows the child that continuous support is there for him/her to
aid them in their progress.
Specialized Collaborations
The caseworkers collaborate weekly with community-based psychologists,
psychiatrics, and in-house therapists, to combine their efforts in order to
meet each child's individual needs.
