Programs for Youth
Chemical dependency can be an even heavier burden for
someone about to give birth, or with a newborn or young child. These women
require special assistance not only for themselves, but for the child they
carry and will be responsible for. Their needs are unique, and their
challenges many.

Full case management, including
needs assessment, links to community support organizations, progress
monitoring, crisis intervention, and rights advocacy.
Help in finding pre-natal and post-natal care,
housing, child care, medical care, and transportation.
Referrals for addiction treatment, prevention, psychiatric and
mental health counseling, nutritional assessment, parenting guidance,
and domestic abuse issues.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome prevention and education.
Division Family Services liaisons provide
support and case management to prevent or reduce the duration of out-of-home
placements.
Women
In Transition

increase education to youth about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, and increase the perception of danger of drug
use.

to drugs or alcohol.

The program reduces parents' illegal drug use
and children's risk factors through group counseling and case management for
parents and children.

skills learned and apply them to the home environment. Children practice the
skills with their parents.
