All Psychotropic medications are evaluated monthly by a psychiatrist. Parents or parent figures have a weekly meal and two weekend visitation opportunities with their children. Whenever possible, we strive to reunite children with family. When re-unifying is not possible, we aid in successful transition to foster care or adoption.
We also offer Independent Living classes (ages 14 - 18) and Transitional Living (ages 17 - 21) to help build self-sufficiency skills and to provide an additional placement opportunity.
