Family Stabilization/Respite Care

Respite services are for boys who require time out from home, foster care or other place of residence. This program can either provide planned respite or provide a short-term placement during times of situational turmoil. While offering structure around the clock, emphasis is placed on enhancing coping skills and on improving present daily functioning. Intensive family work focuses on communication and problem solving within the family. The program is flexible and can be tailored to the individual needs of boys and their families. Length of stay is usually between 1-14 days.
