4.
Residential/Long Term Care Program
This program is designed to provide
rehabilitation, direction ,and the skills
and opportunities for successful functioning in the
community. The 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 in which we strive to overcome
the resistance to change while substituting more appropriate responses within the context of
the child's life.
Staffing
This program is supervised 24 hours a day,7 days a week with trained childcare workers. They work together as a team providing a non-punitive
environment that emphasizes social
skills, social conscience development, peer group processes, and working on individual issues with the residents.
Cottage Program
Youth live and function as a group in the
cottage. The cottage program consists of a comprehensive program of
rules, expectations, responsibilities, and incentives for doing well. Residents have the ability to move to higher levels
of responsibilities based on positive peer interaction and behavior.
Behavior Modification
Program
This modification program contains incentives and rewards for positive and appropriate behavior. It allows the children to take more responsibility for
their actions and to achieve a high level of positive behavior through
privileges
earned.
Over-Night, Off-Campus,
and
Weekend Family Visits
All children have the opportunity to have
overnight, off-campus, and weekend family visits with positive behavior.
This provides the child and family the opportunity of working with each other on issues that need to be resolved
prior to discharge. This is an integral part of the program.
Caseworker Availability
Each child has a caseworker assigned to them that provides individual and group counseling, maintains weekly contact with their
parents, and constantly monitors their individual needs and goals. This ensures that each child's
needs are met.
