“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 as well as 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 families 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 their home community. 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, 200 individuals were served for 21,544 days of care. Results include 74% of children reported a steady or increased level of functioning and 96% of parents report being satisfied with services.”

“Kidstlcs autism program offers a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team assessment as well as single specialization assessments to identify each childs needs in the areas of social behavior, language and communication, fine and gross motor functioning, sensory needs and academic and adaptive functioning. Kidstlc utilizes applied behavior analysis (aba) techniques and principles to bring about meaningful and positive change in behavior. This class of intervention includes techniques such as prompting, shaping, differential reinforcement and chaining. Parents are involved in their child's services by participating in direct training or through observation of their child in the clinic, home or community during their therapy sessions. During 2018, 53 children were served for a total of 56,569 treatment hours. Autism results include: 100% of parents surveyed stated that they either agreed or strongly agreed that they were satisfied with their services, 80% of parents stated that they saw a decrease in problem behavior in the first 90 days of treatment while 100% saw a decrease in problem behavior in the first 180 days of treatment, and 100% stated that their child can demonstrate new skills since beginning treatment.”

“KidsTLC's outpatient program gained new branding in 2018, now known as the Lotus Clinics at KidsTLC: Specialized Mental and Behavioral Health Services. In addition to our overarching services, the specialty clinics include Anxiety, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), LGBTQ/Gender Affirming and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). In 2018, the Lotus Clinics helped 1,915 clients through 10,281 therapeutic encounters, and IOP helped 141 clients. IOP provides structured group therapy, designed for children who exhibit psychiatric symptoms and significant impairment in day-to-day educational, social and interpersonal functioning. It serves as a bridge between inpatient hospitalization or PRTF and a traditional office outpatient setting. Many clients are able to avoid a more restrictive PRTF environment with successful IOP therapy. Referrals for the Lotus Clinics at KidsTLC often come from KidsTLCs Thriving Families program (formerly known as street outreach services, or SOS). The program includes community resource and healthcare navigation, as well as family education and support groups, available in both English and Spanish. In the tax year, Thriving Families helped 282 people and provided prevention of homelessness to 96 individuals, six of which were unaccompanied youth. More than 100 support and education classes were offered in the evenings to parents of clients at KidsTLC. Spiritual care, comfort and support was also available to clients, families and staff in 2018 through chaplaincy services.”
