WHO WE SERVE<\/h5>

Our group home is licensed for eight female and eight male residents, from ten to twenty-one years of age, who have at least borderline intellectual functioning (IQ above 70). Youth with a psychiatric diagnosis, such as Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, or a Personality Disorder will be accepted. Status offenders with histories of truancy or running away will also be accepted. Our program is also appropriate as a step-down program for youth who are leaving a more restrictive placement.<\/p>

We provide services for youth who need a structured setting in which to develop social skills, respect for authority, self-control, and problem-solving skills. Our program is also appropriate for youth with histories of running away, truancy, substance abuse, family stress, and dysfunction.<\/p>

We cannot accept youth in the Residential Treatment Program who have a diagnosis of psychosis, who are sexually maladaptive youth, who have recent or extensive histories of being physically aggressive or violent, or youth with a primary diagnosis of substance abuse.<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
