“Most of the youth we see at the kidstlc prtf have a history of childhood trauma, abuse or neglect, as well as disrupted attachments. Many are now being raised by foster parents, adoptive parents, or grandparents and other relatives. Residential treatment allows kidstlc to reduce destructive behaviors, redirect the attitudes and feelings, which contribute to these behaviors, provide a safe environment and resolve the emotional effects of abuse/neglect. We provide a supportive environment for learning positive ways of interacting with others. Clients learn about the freedom to make choices and to accept responsibility for those choices and the ensuing consequences. All of these steps prepare each client for discharge and re-integration into society. Program services are offered to each client through an individualized plan of care, treatment goals and objectives developed in response to the clients needs. The treatment philosophy is based on dyadic developmental psychotherapy (ddp), which is a highly relational model of care that provides an emotionally and physically safe environment in which complexly traumatized children can begin to form attachments with safe and emotionally regulated adults. Family therapy is a key component of the treatment protocol where parents and/or adult care-givers are required to participate. Additionally, kidstlc provides a parent support group that parents are highly encouraged to attend. Individual and group therapy for the children is provided with the target of stabilizing them in order to help them return to the community from which they were referred. Kidstlc initiated intense ddp staff training and will become the first residential agency in the u.s. To be certified by the dyadic developmental psychotherapy institute. During the tax year, 246 individuals were served for 20,882 days of care. Results include 83% of children reported a steady or increased level of functioning and 91% of kids report being satisfied with services.”

Much has been written in recent years regarding spiritual care and its enhancement of mental and physical treatment.

This includes but is not limited to chapel services, one-on-one conversations with the chaplain, distribution of religious/spiritual materials, connecting clients with leaders of their chosen faith/spiritual tradition or visiting families during times of crisis. Additionally, care is extended to the staff of kidstlc. Spiritual care, comfort and support are delivered through means as noted above as well as hospital visits to staff members and their families, attending or officiating funerals and weddings. A healthier staff translates into better care which translates into better outcomes for our clients and their families.
