HOME SERVICES
home receive short-term assessment and intensive residential and day treatment in a
safe, structured environment, during which time, longer-term placement in less
restrictive settings or family reunification can be investigated.
BACKGROUND:
FamiliesFirst, Inc. operates the Rose Manning Youth Shelter, a six-bed, 24-hour coed
residential treatment and assessment facility serving the entire county. The shelter
offers intensive Residential Care Level 14 group home services for severely emotionally
disturbed children in short-term placements, generally of 90 days or less. Children
placed in the shelter receive a broad spectrum of intensive, individualized and group
treatments for emotional and behavioral issues, which include addressing the effects of
;prior physical, emotional and sexual abuse. An ongrounds school and day treatment
grogram meets the children's individualized educational needs.
These local treatment and assessment services help to reduce out-of-county
placements and facilitate family therapy for children for whom reunification is possible;
they also allow Employment and Human Services to find the best possible long-term
placement options for those who require ongoing residential treatment. (#21-569-8)
