Services
Formerly Group Homes, Short Term Residential Therapeutic Programs (STRTP’s) provide intensive clinical and behavioral services to support a reduction in high-risk behaviors so that children and youth can return to their homes and their communities as quickly as possible.
​
Our highly experienced and integrated team (clinicians, case managers, peer mentors, and residential staff) work directly with each youth/family to identify their needs, prepare and implement an individualized comprehensive Needs & Services Plan and provide aftercare support to youth/family in the community with linkage to resources for ongoing success.
​
Unlike group homes, STRTPs provide short-term, specialized, intensive and therapeutic 24-hour care and supervision that stabilize high-needs youth. This allows successful transitions into permanent and supportive family placements.
​
Youth are referred for STRTP admission by child protective service agencies in San Bernardino County. Our program is an approved Medi-CAL provider through the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health Children's Residential Intensive Services (CHRIS) Program. Each youth participates in developing their own needs and service plan and setting goals to achieve during participation the program.
