Placement

Long Term Residential Program

This program is designed to provide rehabilitation, direction, and the skills and opportunities for successful functioning in the community. The Long Term Residential Program enhances the development of interpersonal relationships that are nurturing and honest, in an atmosphere of security, positive reinforcement, and perseverance. We regard the child's recovery as a re-education process where we strive to overcome the resistance to change, while substituting more appropriate responses within the context of the child's life.

Diagnostic Program

The Diagnostic Program comprehensively assesses and makes recommendations as to the appropriate level of placement based on the child’s individual needs.

Emergency Placement Program

This program is intended to meet the needs of the parents and children in crisis and to avert hospital placement. The Emergency Placement Program provides a safe and secure temporary home. The child will receive counseling, structure, and support in a caring atmosphere from professional staff for up to 14 days, while a team of people work with the family toward a safe, productive disposition. Upon the child’s discharge, a meeting is facilitated with all service providers involved, regarding the services necessary for the child to be successful in the home environment.

Emergency Care Program

In response to 24 hour emergency services, CHJC offers emergency care for up to 30 days, for children who are in DSS custody. These children are identified as requiring immediate care which is either unavailable in, or beyond the scope of, regular foster care homes. The Emergency Care Program provides a stable, caring environment while referring agencies work with the courts and family to provide a more suitable solution.

Non-Secure Detention Program

The Non-Secure Detention Program is rehabilitative in purpose, and provides the child with a temporary, safe, healthy, and structured environment, until his/her case has been decided through final disposition of the court system.
