They also offer intensive home therapy, a program where therapists work with children and youth in their homes and daily lives, including school.

They also provide group home care for youth who need a period of treatment in order to stabilize and create healthy habits.
There are also home based family therapy and mentoring available for youth. Providing this counseling in the home stabilizes situations and helps prevent out of home placements. The mentoring helps teach skill that youth can use to create a successful life.
