| Foster Care Program-Regular and Treatment |
| | Foster Care is a temporary alternative to a child's natural home when that home becomes socially, emotionally or physically inadequate for the child's needs. Foster children range in age from infant to 18. All foster children have unique backgrounds, experiences, personalities, strengths and weaknesses. Some may require extensive care for physical or emotional handicaps or disabilities. Many foster children have been victims of physical or sexual abuse, some have suffered neglect and some children and infants require medical care. Please call Patty Timm at 683-4289.

| Non Violent Crisis Intervention Training |
| | The principles and techniques taught in the Crisis Prevention Institute's Nonviolent Crisis Intervention program have proven effective in resolving potentially violent situations. This program increases participants confidence which is necessary to handle crisis situations with minimal anxiety and maximum security. The training helps individuals intervene more safely when behavior becomes dangerous. We hope this training session will be the first step on a meaningful journey towards a safer, more supportive work, home and community environment.

| Wraparound for High Risk Juvenile Offenders |
| | The wraparound process works for many populations. Service Coordination is an integral part of the giving families voice, access and ownership over their futures. The family centeredness helps families plan ahead for the time when the JJ system is no longer formally involved. It helps families provide the structured supervision that the Intensive Supervision Program currently provides.
