Activity 2

Wayside's family treatment program is a long term residential substance abuse and mental health treatment program for women at risk or involved with child protective services. This comprehensive family treatment services for both mom and her children and the kids up to 11 live on site with their mother while she receives treatment services. The counselors at the family treatment program understand the importance of assessing the stage of change that each individual client is at and using motivational interviewing techniques to help them travel along the continuum of change. Our approach to working with women is a non-confrontational, non-judgmental style. We focus on the relationship that exists between the counselor and the client. Healing takes place when genuine connection occurs in the relationship. In 2012, 75 women and 89 children received treatment services at this location.

On-site activities and groups for women, children, and families also support sobriety, build community and build personal strengths.
