“Our mission is to integrate individualized mental health, care and supervision for youth and non-minor dependents that have histories of abuse, neglect, and/or delingquent behavior. Youth and non-minor dependents are served through intensive, culturally relevant, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate services, coupled with a safe and secure environment to reduce symptoms that led the youth into placement.”
