Resource Guide- Children and Adolescents

This guide should be comprised of local resources (within your community). You will add to this guide in future classes.

Your assignment is to research church, para-church, and community agencies, listing what they offer regarding assistance to those who need child or adolescent therapy and/or assistance.

Your listing should be an accurate and comprehensive list of what you consider to be the best resources available in your area. You will add personal commentary (a couple of sentences) about each program you choose to include. This may include your thoughts about the program, what you have heard from others, the general reputation of the program, or your informal evaluation or impressions based on what you know of services offered.

Format may vary, but please be clear in headings and structure.

Example:
Program Contact Information Type of Treatment Length Modality Cost Requirements Other/ Personal Evaluation
New Life, 555 New Life Lane, Providence (associated with New Life Church) M. Betos, 555-1212 Residential, assists with “most all problems of living” 6-12 months Christian Ministry, spiritual formation as primary intervention, group and individual counsel offered as well Based on need, free and up Willingness to change, no HIV+ accepted, no pedophiles accepted, phone interview and in person interview needed Program based on structured lifestyle change and incorporating spiritual truths into life, attend chapel daily and church services 2x per week, also daily Bible classes. Seems strong in what they offer, limited in inability to serve more resistant clients or those with more severe issues.
Heritage Counseling Center, 100 Hope Drive, New Castle H. Day, 222-9999 Community private practice, works with anxiety, depression, addictions, marriage and family issues As needed Varied, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, systems, Christian counselors, psychiatrist also available Sliding scale (low to no fee) and insurance accepted Complete phone intake More traditional type therapy from a Christian perspective. I’d likely use them as a referral source based on what is offered, though for folks needing more intensive help such as vocational or major lifestyle change, this may not be the best resource.
Life Groups at Light Church, 123 Sunrise Rd., Dayton M. Patrick, 777-3211 Pastoral counsel, lay counseling, and peer support groups Weekly groups offered for anxiety and depression, also for couples Christian 12-step models used for some groups, others use varied formats free Call for more information, otherwise just come Offer childcare as well. Good resource, may help folks tie into a church, may limit those who are intimidated by church setting, 12-step approach may also be a limitation.
