Our Homes
DCF provides well maintained and decorative single family homes. Each Group Home provides housing for six (6) females. Our professionally trained and educated staff includes 24 hour Childcare Workers and contracted Social Workers who provide weekly individual and group therapy.
Mental Health Services
Our staff includes contracted Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Psychologists and Psychiatrists. As a team, they provide treatment via individualized needs and assessment plans, psychological and psychiatric evaluations, psychotropic medication, when necessary, and medication maintenance. DCF also provides individual, group and family counseling.
Educational Services
DCF provides educationally enriched study and tutorial programs. On staff is an educational liaison worker who works directly with schools to ensure educational success leading to graduation. Computers are available at each home to aide with their educational needs. Our successful Emancipation Program prepares youth for transitioning into higher education (college, trade school, job corps, etc…) and independent adult life.
Recreational Activities
Every week, our young women participate in a variety of social, educational and cultural community outings. Our goal is to expose them to positive alternatives and resources that will enrich the quality of their lives while giving them the opportunity to see life from a different perspective. The ultimate vision of DCF is to create and nurture dreams to become reality. We promote within each child the belief that “what we think and what we dream tends to materialize into who we become.”
