Community-Based Programming

To help each child rebuild his/her future, Charles Hall Youth Services often accesses services from a variety of agencies throughout the community. The West Central Human Service Center is our partner for drug and alcohol evaluations, addiction counseling, treatment, and aftercare services. They also provide anger management courses and individual/family counseling; and, if deemed necessary, grief counseling and/or sexual abuse counseling.

Psychological evaluations and individual counseling are offered through area mental health clinics. Clinic staff meets with our program director, social workers and house managers to offer insight and advice on the treatment and care of specific youth.

MedCenter One Health System and St. Alexius Medical Center provide psychiatric placements and safe bed placements when necessary. Registered dietitians are utilized from either hospital for clients that need this service due to eating disorders.

Partial Care, offered through St. Alexius Medical Center, is available for youth who have dual diagnosis and can benefit from group counseling while attending school during daytime hours.

 

The Village Family Service Center is now providing Family Group Decision Making for the children at CHYS. Every child, and his or her family, will have the opportunity for a family conference.

Family Programming

Everyone needs a place to call home. Regardless of the circumstances that may have resulted in a youth’s placement at Charles Hall, we recognize that each youth wants to be reunited with her/his natural family. “Family Nights” and family-oriented activities provide opportunities for families to stay involved actively while their children are at Charles Hall. Special family meals often take place on a monthly basis in the group homes. Conversation is simple, the mood is relaxed, and fun activities are planned. Family nights often are anticipated eagerly by youth residents, who look forward to helping staff and family members become acquainted and get to know one another. Playing board games, making Christmas cards, dying Easter eggs, and many other activities provide opportunities for good ‘ole family fun and positive conversation.
