mission and value statement narrative:

The values outlined above are the foundation and principles upon which we have built successful programs for children, youth, and adolescents. Our deep and abiding concern for the health and well-being of children is demonstrated by the quality of those programs. A visit to our facility would instantly reveal that while we place a high premium on old-fashioned values such as hard work and discipline, we also believe very strongly in the dignity of the human spirit. Our program is structured to provide children a safe and secure place to grow and develop.

The current population that we serve includes children who have a long history of dependency and neglect, emotional issues, substance abuse issues, unruly and delinquent behavior, and physical and emotional abuse. We have a reputation of successfully treating children who present challenging behaviors. Our history proves that we will accept that challenge and demonstrate a “do whatever it takes” attitude to support that child.
