Child counseling is provided through three distinct areas: individual, group and family. Individual child counseling is provided a minimum of one hour per week with addition sessions when requested by the child or deemed necessary by the treatment staff. Group counseling is provided on hour per day, five days per week. Family counseling is provided twice per month during visitation, through telephone contacts and written correspondence.
Various treatment methods are utilized to ensure the successful progression through the program. Methods include Positive Peer Culture, Life Space Crisis Intervention, Reality Therapy, and Conflict Resolution.
Upon entering the program, each child receives a comprehensive Individual Treatment Plan (ITP). Each ITP is individually tailored to address the specific needs of the child. Every 30 days the ITP, along with the child's treatment progress, is reviewed and modified if necessary.
Once the child reaches the mid-point of the program, focus is adjusted to include family and community reunification.
