“Youth in kidstlc's psychiatric residential treatment facility (prtf) have complex mental health diagnoses, and many 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 the community. Program services are offered to each client through an individualized plan of care, treatment goals and objectives developed in response to the client's 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. 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. During the tax year, 206 individuals were served for 36,220 days of care. Results include 93% of parents reporting satisfaction with services and 86% of parents report an increase in level of functioning.”
