CARE

Physical health is just as important as
mental health. In all of our programs we
stress the importance of taking care of
our participants’ mental health. As victims
of abuse and neglect, it is important that
our young people continue to nurture a
happy and healthy mindset while building
a life for themselves out in the world.
New Directions staff collaborate weekly
in what we call Treatment Team with a
licensed therapist to discuss strategies
and interventions in order to provide
the highest quality of care and to meet
the individual needs of each of our
participants.

MONTHLY GROUPS

Each month, New Directions will have a
guest speaker from a local community
program give a presentation to our
participants. Sometimes, our staff will
present to our participants as well.
Subjects include but are not limited
to; healthy relationships, effective
communication, coping skills, reproductive
health, tenant rights, career planning,
budgeting, and community resources
available to them.
