| The children who come to stay at the Lancaster Campus are often extremely fragile. Employees concentrate on gaining each child’s trust as they engage them throughout every aspect of their day – residence, play, therapy, and school. In addition to having the only adventure education physical challenge course, the Lancaster Campus has a NYPUM (National Youth Project Using Minibikes) program. Students from all four programs and the Lancaster School participate in the program, which uses the exciting incentive of riding minibikes as a catalyst for mentoring and reinforcing good behavior. We have four programs on the Lancaster Campus: 1) Elizabeth Birk Oatis Children’s Center The Elizabeth Birk Oatis Children’s Center is a group home with a 1 to 3 staff to youth ratio for adolescent boys and girls. For the most part, these young people come to us through the Department of Children and Families. The program is home for up to 18 children ages 11–18 who stay with us, on average, for six months. The program focuses on stabilizing students who have engaged in unsafe and risk-taking behaviors by providing a safe, nurturing environment in which rewards and consequences are consistently given. Employees work together with students and family members, when possible, to construct individual treatment plans that target each resident’s unique challenges. 2) Adolescent Treatment Unit The Adolescent Treatment Unit is a Chapter 766 approved, private, special education residential program which provides multi-disciplinary services to emotionally disturbed adolescent boys and girls, aged 11-18. The program treats up to 18 students who have been referred by various state agencies due to differing high risk and acting out behaviors. The program offers clinical, medical, recreation and educational services for students. 3) Wellington Hall Wellington Hall provides Group Home with a 1 to 4 staff to youth ratio for boys and girls ages 11-18. Treatment plans include support services to children and families as they transition back to the community. The program includes residential, educational, recreational, medical and clinical services. In addition, the opportunity for each child to enjoy normalized childhood experiences such as organized sports and other after-school activities is considered in daily planning and treatment services. Employees promote progress through trauma informed care treatment. The students in this program are dealing with issues such as ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), sexualized behaviors, aggression, fire-setting, and complex emotional disorders. 4) Philip W. Johnston Hall Johnston Hall is a coed unit serving ages 11-18. The program provides short term treatment STARR services (Stabilization, Assessment and Rapid Reintegration). Employees at Johnston Hall promote progress through incentive-based treatment, rewarding pro-social behaviors. Therapy is intertwined into all aspects of the unit’s activities. The children in this program are dealing with a number of issues, including but not limited to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), sexualized behaviors, and aggression. |
