Our communities, our families and our residents have experienced considerable trauma in the past year, it is time we unify and be intentional about our mental, physical and emotional health.
We must continue opening our doors to healing.
CYDC is committed to ensuring our community and our residents have the resources and tools to heal. You can help hold doors open for our community by making a donation today.
“I feel privileged to be a part of the Treatment Team here at CYDC. Helping to create an emotionally safe environment for our residents is essential as they grow and try new behaviors. We create that environment here by building close, trusting relationships with the youth and creating a culture of care within our campus community.”
-Ryan Horn
CYDC uses a variety of different methods such as art-based therapy, music-based therapy and grief therapy through our L.Y.G.H.T. Program – which stands for Listening and Led by Youth in Foster Care: Grief, Hope, and Transitions.
Our Strengthening Families Program (SFP) is an evidence-based family skills training program for high-risk and general population families that is recognized both nationally and internationally. Parents and youth attend 14 weekly SFP skills classes together, learning parenting skills and youth life and refusal skills to allow families to heal together and become stronger.
