The nmt approach ensures that services are developmentally relevant with the goal of regulation both for the child and the family. An effort is made to understand behavior in the context of the family's cycle of interaction, the child's trauma and emotional development as well as the family's culture. The overall goal is to help improve the child's and family's functioning, with the hope of reunification. The average length of stay varies according to each child and family's individual needs. Individual, educational, and treatment planning make it possible to accommodate a wide range of academic and emotional needs. The primary components of the residential program include: 1) the therapeutic milieu, 2) psychotherapy, 3) the academic experience. 1)the therapeutic milieu - the main purpose of the therapeutic milieu is to provide an emotionally and physically safe atmosphere in which the children can experience, explore, and risk a variety of thoughts, feelings, and interpersonal behaviors.

“Foster care, in-home therapy, and neurosequential model of therapeutics (nmt) and training foster care - is the temporary 24-hour care of children who cannot remain in their own homes due to abuse, neglect, or other safety concerns. Mount saint vincent contracts with county departments of human services to provide foster care placements for these identified children. Foster families provide children a stable, safe, and nurturing environment until they can return to their biological families. If returning is not an option, an adoption plan may be developed. Alternatively, foster families may be asked to help older children develop independent living skills. Mount saint vincent's foster care program serves children ages newborn to 18 years old whose length of stay in foster care may range from overnight, to a few months, or a few years. If adoption becomes the permanency goal, a child may be adopted by his or her foster family. Children placed in foster care come from every social, economic, ethnic, and racial background. They have been abused or neglected, or may have medical or emotional needs. What they all have in common is a need for a safe home and a family to love and care for them for as long as necessary. To help our foster families succeed, we provide case management support through face to face and phone contact, respite care, training and education opportunities, 24-hour emergency access to agency staff, and a monthly support group for foster parents. This wrap-around support for foster families is one of the primary reasons the foster care program at mount saint vincent's is so successful. The in-home therapy program serves children and families in the denver metro area to ensure a safe, healthy, and nurturing home environment. Therapists and behavior coaches trained in the neurosequential model of therapeutics and therapeutic crisis intervention provide specialized care. They create individualized treatment plans for each family by using developmentally appropriate interventions that are strengths-based and solutions-focused. Therapists and behavior coaches work to stabilize children who are acting out behaviorally or emotionally. They focus on providing a safe, confidential and encouraging environment to help strengthen the inner workings of the family. To offer the best support possible, the therapists and coaches adopt a nonjudgmental and culturally competent approach. They recognize that the caregiver is the expert. The therapists and coaches' role is to provide comprehensive and collaborative support by identifying coping skills, strengthening familial communications, initiating safety planning, and providing structure. In addition to addressing problematic behaviors, the coaches also offer positive reinforcement of desirable behaviors. Several levels of services are available, depending on the family's needs. These range from one to 10 hours per week of in-home services and 24/7 crisis support. The goals of the in-home program are to prevent out-of-home placements and/or support children who are transitioning from foster care or residential treatment.
