Service Description:
|
Choices Child and Adolescent Services is a Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services licensed Children's Residence that provides "Out of Home Care" in a residential setting.
Choices Child and Adolescent Services provides programming that provides assessment, stabilization, and therapeutic interventions for adolescent males with problematic sexual behaviour between the ages of 12 and 18.
Treatment is based on the fundamental view that individual success can be achieved through specialized programming that addresses the young person’s developmental needs, cognitive level, and style of learning.
Choices, Child and Adolescent Services has adopted a holistic approach to the treatment of adolescents with sexually problematic behaviours. We offer a combination of individual, group, and family therapy along with specialized academic programming and skills training.
Our philosophy is that sexual abuse is a symptom of dysfunction in an adolescence's life. As a result, the child or youth must develop an understanding of their behaviour patterns, and learn socially acceptable ways of coping, and relating to others.
Our goal is to empower adolescences to lead non-abusive lives by providing learning experiences that will help them develop healthy attitudes about themselves, their families and their communities.
Choices Child and Adolescent Services adheres to the regulations of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act of the province of Ontario and is licensed by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services.
Our program is highly monitored and staff secure. Our treatment model provides for community safety in a homelike environment.
Funding for a placement at Choices Child and Adolescent Services must be secured through resources such as the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services, Children’s Aid Societies, other Social Service agencies or independent funding sources.
