To help our residents move past their trauma and heal, our expert team includes on-site counseling and therapeutic support. Here is everything you need to know about the youth and family support services at Cumberland Youth and Family Services:
Adolescent Child Care Services
Our Adolescent Child Care Services support youth who have likely spent extended time in foster care. This program offers a compassionate community and a chance to focus on normal adolescence. These services are designed to focus on life skills and permanency planning to prepare our residents for life after foster care. We take a deep dive into basic life skills to promote academic and first-job readiness.
Treatment Services
The Treatment Services program offers structure and support to teen girls with emotional disorders who have experienced severe trauma. Our collaborative team works with these young women to teach them social skills and relationship building. We aim to help our residents develop positive coping mechanisms so they can heal and grow from their experiences.
Emergency Shelter Services
Often the first stop for youth who have been removed from their homes by Child Protective Services is our Emergency Shelter Services. Our focus is on crisis intervention and providing shelter for youth who have otherwise been in abusive or negligent situations. We offer safety and stability while working to address the basic, immediate needs of each of our residents.
Family Residential Services
Our Family Residential Services are aimed at helping single-parent families rebuild and stabilize their lives. Our program serves families who are employed but they don’t earn enough to afford bare-bones expenses. We offer low-cost housing and income support, career and education support, individualized financial coaching and extensive case management to help these families get back on their feet. Through our community, new beginnings take shape and futures are bright.
Supervised Independent Living Program
Launching in the Fall of 2021, the Supervised Independent Living Program will provide valuable living and learning experiences and resources for youth who have aged out of foster care. We work with these residents in a self-directed environment to inspire the confidence and self-sufficiency they need to live on their own. Our goal is to ensure that they are prepared for life after foster care.
