Program The Eagle Village Residential Program operates in five separate houses and
description:
serves mainly abused/neglected and delinquent youth ages 11-17 and their
families. Youth served are struggling with emotional and behavioral issues to
the extent that they have had a negative impact on the family, the youth and/
or the community and have required the removal of the youth from home
and community.
The residential program also accepts youth without families, but expects
family involvement when an identified post-placement is established. We
believe the progress of the youth is positively and significantly affected when
families/guardians are involved.
Residential programming addresses a variety of presenting problems and
is designed to meet the psychological, emotional, behavioral, physical, and
spiritual needs of the youth and the family. Services in the abuse/neglect
houses are designed to address the consequences of early childhood trauma
and help youth build resilience with the result of decreasing frequency and
intensity of emotional issues.

Residential Program – CONTINUED
Although the delinquent population often also has experienced early
childhood trauma, typically the youth have a family system in place that
provides emotional support, resulting in a level of resilience and ability to
self-regulate. In the programs that serve these youth, Eagle Village provides
opportunities for them to learn new behaviors and take responsibility for
their choices through the reality-based, cognitive behavioral and family
systems principles. Houses serving the delinquent population include the
trauma-based therapy mentioned above when it is determined appropriate
for the youth. Programming is modified to each child’s individual needs.
Passages is a continuation of Eagle Village’s residential program designed
to equip and prepare youth for a successful transition from residential
placement to their home and community, foster care, group home or
independent living. As each youth’s program goals are different, we
individualize the program to fit the needs of our youth.
Most of the youth served by Passages will have progressed through one
of our Eagle Village residential programs prior to placement in Passages.
Passages does accept youth from outside Eagle Village, depending upon
whether they meet the admissions criteria, participate in an assessment
interview, and are accepted into the program.
Youth attend the on-grounds school whose educational services are
provided through the Mecosta-Osceola Intermediate School District.

Specialized Intensive Residential Treatment – CONTINUED
Judson Center’s Specialized Intensive Residential Treatment program is an
intensive, brief (3-6 month stay), Non-secure, treatment placement for adolescent
females, ages 11-17, with a serious emotional disturbance (SED) and/or a severe
trauma history. The program’s therapeutic milieu is based on evidence-based
treatment models, which are incorporated into daily activities and guide
the therapeutic approach: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational
Interviewing (MI) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT).
The Specialized Intensive Residential Treatment program provides an extensive
therapeutic assessment and person-centered treatment component to improve
a youth’s functioning so that she can discharge to a less-restrictive community
setting. Services include:
• DBT skill groups focusing on mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion
regulation and distress tolerance
• Specialized life skills groups
• Recreational activities within the unit and in the community, when appropriate
• Individual therapy a minimum of one time per week, with additional sessions as
needed
• Case management
• Educational support and continuity through attendance at a local public school
• On site psychiatric and nursing services, as needed
• Referral for necessary and appropriate medical care
• Community resource consultation, education and treatment for families
Treatment philosophy: The Specialized Intensive Residential Treatment philosophy
is rooted in DBT, MI and TFCBT. A structured milieu organizes the daily activities
of the child, which include: education collaboration; recreation; psychiatric, biopsychosocial and medical assessment; individual, group and family therapy; religious
orientation, as indicated by child or parent; physical care, including nutrition;
supervision; and adequate clothing and shelter. Discharge planning begins at intake
and every effort is made to return the child to his/her family as quickly as possible.
Our interdisciplinary team, consisting of a psychiatrist, nurse, case manager, therapist
and unit supervisor, works, in conjunction with the referring worker and jurist,
to make decisions regarding comprehensive assessment, the need for additional
services or assessments, the level of care, treatment planning and coordinating
discharge services in the community. The overall goals are to stabilize the youth, to
therapeutically teach the family skills to safely maintain the youth at home, and to
coordinate community resources to provide additional supports for the family.

is to re-unite children with their families of origin or another appropriate
community setting. MCHS is located on 70 acres of land. The residents are
housed in homey “cottage-like” units, providing an individual bedroom for
ten young men in each of the seven units.

METHODIST CHILDREN’S HOME SOCIETY – CONTINUED
Agency narrative
Methodist Children’s Home Society provides treatment in a residential setting for preadolescent/adolescent males, ages 6-17 determined by the court system to be in need of
such services. These services are provided in the least restrictive setting possible to both
residents and their families. The primary purpose of the residential program is to re-unite
children with their families of origin or help them transition to step-down services, such as
foster care in preparation for return home. In cases where there are no family resources or
parental rights have been terminated, the continuum of care can include adoption services
which allow children to achieve permanency. Youth in placement have moderate to severe
emotional, behavioral and/or mental health problems. Multi-disciplinary treatment teams
designed the milieu to provide the residents with opportunities to learn and develop skills
in the areas of self-esteem, self-control, interpersonal relationships and living skills (daily
living, independent living, and leadership skills). Trained youth specialists provide the
residents with support and guidance, modeling and coaching and behavioral prevention
and interventions that all promote a client-choice based empowerment model to prepare the
residents for a successful return to living in a community setting.
The program includes behavioral intervention modalities such as Crisis Prevention
Intervention (CPI), Aggression Replacement Training (ART), Brain Gym, Yoga and Tai Chi.
These services are designed to address trauma issues and allow residents to learn selfsoothing and coping techniques to utilize when they are anxious or overwhelmed. Privileges
and activities are commensurate with a child’s age and maturation level. Residents are also
eligible to apply for the on campus work program when their behavior has indicated that
they are ready for such an experience. They are taught the basics of ground maintenance, but,
more importantly, they are taught how to apply for a job, how to behave on the job and the
responsibility of managing the money they earn. A certain percentage of monies earned is put
into a savings account for each youth to take with him upon discharge.
The Redford Union Schools provide general education, special education and day treatment
services to most of our residents. In September 2012, the agency joined forces with Dearborn
Heights School District #7 to provide a Virtual Academy for high school level students to
meet the needs of those students who do not thrive in the traditional classroom setting or for
those who have been suspended for a lengthy period of time or expelled. This is a computerbased program which allows the resident to progress at his own pace while earning high
school credits.
The primary advocate for the child in residential placement regarding school is the
Residential Therapist, who is a master’s level therapist. The youth are also guided in their
educational success with the use of a daily tutoring program that is provided in each cottage
from Monday through Thursday. For five weeks in the summer, every child participates in
the Summer Bridges program, focusing on Math, Reading, Computer Lab and Life Skills to
maintain their academic achievements from one year to the next.
The Foster Care/Adoption Placement Departments provide a broader continuum of services
for the children who come to us for residential services. We will continue to broaden this
collaboration between the departments to provide more children the opportunity to move
to less restrictive living environments, especially when their parents’ rights have been
terminated.

Agency narrative
Vista Maria was founded as an orphanage in 1883 by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
The Sisters’ legacy of rescuing and restoring women and children provides the foundation
for the agency’s mission today: to provide the care and support necessary to heal so that
our children, teens and families have the opportunity for a new beginning. Filled with
compassion and a sense of responsibility to care for women and girls who were homeless,
or caught in abusive, destructive and dangerous situations, the Sisters devoted their lives to
helping women and girls regain their self-worth, dignity and become self-sufficient—in much
the same way as Vista Maria does today.
For 129 years, the agency has continued to meet the growing and changing needs of the
vulnerable children and their families in our care and is expanding its capacity to serve the
community through its Village of Hope initiative. When complete, the Village of Hope at
Vista Maria will be a safe haven for disadvantaged children and families. Our continued
growth and expansion now offers alternative education, daily living assistance and provides
a place for children to grow and have a new beginning.

Agency narrative
The Mission statement for Wedgwood Christian Services is “Extending God’s love to youth
and families through professional counseling and educational services.” Wedgwood is a
nonprofit, faith-based organization that strives to provide services that are professionally
excellent and distinctively Christian. Wedgwood promotes an inclusive, not exclusive,
emphasis on being distinctively Christian, believing that people of all faiths and backgrounds
are equally valued by God. Wedgwood places a high value on diversity appreciation, again
believing that diversity is an integral part of God’s creative design. Wedgwood has a 50
year history in residential care and over the past 10 years has made a focused attempt to
significantly extend its continuum in the direction of prevention and education services,
launching two new charter schools specifically designed for at-risk and failing students as
well as multiple prevention programs. Wedgwood has always perceived its niche as finding
the underserved and severely at-risk populations. Wedgwood uses a treatment focus that
is relationally based and cooperative, believing that punishment or consequence-based
programming is simply not effective for most clients within our reach. Wedgwood places a
high value on on-going staff training and evidence-based practices.

The Mott Children’s Residence serves the youngest children at Whaley

can expect constant supervision and support which is due to having the
highest staff to child ratios amongst child caring institutions (3 children to
1 staff). In addition, each child has a bachelor-level counselor that works
directly on the milieu and runs psychoeducational groups as well as a
Master-Level therapist. Just this past year, different therapist underwent
various certifications and trainings which included Trauma-Focused
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
(DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), all of
which are evidence based practices.
Additionally, the counselors implement the S.E.L.F. curriculum through
the Sanctuary Model, which is another evidence based practice. The S.E.L.F
curriculum, which stands for Safety, Emotions, Loss, and Future (S.E.L.F) is
a psychoeducational group curriculum is designed to provide children and
staff with a coherent cognitive framework to overcome their trauma and
rebuild their future. S.E.L.F. is a compass through the process of recovery that

planning.

The Zonta House typically serves the pre-adolescent and adolescent girls
at Whaley Children’s Center (WCC), usually between the ages of 12 to 17
years, though it licensed to serve all ages and both genders. The children
at Zonta House can expect constant supervision and support which is due
to having the highest staff to child ratios amongst child caring institutions
(3 children to 1 staff). In addition, each child has a bachelor-level counselor
that works directly on the milieu and runs psychoeducational groups as
well as a Master-Level therapist. Just this past year, different therapist
underwent various certifications and trainings which included TraumaFocused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral
Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR), all of which are evidence based practices.
Additionally, the counselors implement the S.E.L.F. curriculum through
the Sanctuary Model, which is another evidence based practice. The S.E.L.F
curriculum, which stands for Safety, Emotions, Loss, and Future (S.E.L.F) is
a psychoeducational group curriculum is designed to provide children and
staff with a coherent cognitive framework to overcome their trauma and
rebuild their future. S.E.L.F. is a compass through the process of recovery
that helps guide individual treatment, staff decision making and team
treatment planning.
Therapists and counselors utilize the Child and Adolescent Functioning
Scale (CAFAS) assessment and the Guide for Life and Social Success.
CAFAS is an assessment tool that measures a child or youth’s day-to-day
functioning across critical life domains and gauges whether a youth’s
functioning improves over time. The CAFAS is used to inform decisions
about level of care, type and intensity of treatment, placement, and need
for future services.
The residential department utilizes the Reclaiming Environment –
Circle of Courage philosophy, which is rooted in neuropsychology and
based on the tenants of belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity.
WCC emphasizes the philosophy that if every child can feel love, support
and safety, while also learning life and social skills, he/she can become a
principled young adult.

Agency narrative
Whaley Children’s Center (WCC) is a private, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization located in Flint,
MI. Founded in 1926, WCC has a mission to provide tools to children and families who have
experienced trauma to reach their full potential. WCC’s vision is that through dynamic
leadership and dedicated staff and volunteers, it will be a source of hope, care and treatment
to Michigan’s abused, neglected and at-risk children and families. WCC is proud to announce
that it was recently accredited by CARF International.
Serving children between the ages of 5 to 17 years, WCC is a 48-bed residential treatment
facility licensed through the Department of Human Services. In addition, WCC provides
intensive individual and group psychotherapy to every child and has an on-site school for
children whose special needs extend beyond the mainstream classroom. WCC also provides
post follow-up care, family therapy, family visit supervision, mentoring, and a host of other
education services to enhance the child’s growth and development.
WCC embraces a strengths-based model when working with children and their families as
it strives to return every child to a family setting (biological, kinship, foster care, pre-adoptive,
and adoptive). In the last two years (2010 and 2011), 80 percent of the children discharged
from the Center left to a family setting.
