Program accomplishments
- Ettie Lee owns group care homes in residential neighborhoods throughout southern California. The goal for group care is for each to be as home like as possible while at the same time serving as a therapeutic setting for the participants. There are five safe and secure group care homes that serve 50 adolescents who have severe emotional and behavioral challenges. Three homes are short term Residential Treatment Programs, and two are Shelter Care sites. Fully licensed and accredited, these homes are equipped to care for six to twelve youngsters, ages 10 to 17. A team of highly trained residential care professionals provide nurturing, around the clock supervision. Services include individual, group, and family counseling; academic and vocational assistance; independent living skills training; and recreational activities. Through individualized, innovative, and flexible services the adolescents are given every opportunity to succeed, and our staff encourages family participation in treatment. Ettie Lee also provides services to help youngsters as they transition to community living or to a lower level of care.Expenses $3,390,386 · grants $241,646
- Ettie Lee's Intensive Treatment Foster Care (ITFC) program cares for children with serious behavioral problems, who would otherwise require group care placement, and enables them to live in a family setting. This program follows the same model as the Foster Care Adoption Program; however, ITFC offers intensified services for foster youth who need extra structure and support. ITFC places only one foster child in a home where the child has an individualized treatment program and the foster parents receive specialized training and professional support twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.Ettie Lee's unaccompanied minor homes provide boys from 10 to 18 with residential care, mental health services, family reunification, educational, recreational services in a group setting.Ettie Lee Mental Health Programs extend to all of Ettie Lee programming - group care, foster care adoption, and Ettie Lee's community-based substance use disorder program and mental health services. The Mental Health Program is designed to meet the numerous mental health needs of children, youth, and families. Mental Health Services are provided using trauma informed treatment and evidence-based practices that have demonstrated positive outcomes. Services in support of the child include individual, group and family therapy, psychiatric and medication support services, therapeutic behavioral services (TBS), transition and aftercare planning, and in-home and field-based services (including assessment, consultation, case management, individual and family counseling, crisis intervention). The Mental Health Program assists system-involved youth who are not likely to return to their homes to gain caring relationships and coordinated, culturally responsive, trauma-informed support services to help them build a life worth living, establish safe, stable independent living arrangements, and develop safe, stable adult relationships and social support system. All treatment programs are evidence-based. Most services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Expenses $1,617,925
- The Foster Care, Unaccompanied Minor and Adoption Homes provide children and youth, infants to 21 years old with therapeutic and other support services they need to heal and achieve safety, permanency, and well-being.
