Crossroads Community Youth Home
Crossroads
Community Youth Home offers a structured, homelike environment for up to
twelve teenage boys aged 14-17. The boys reside in the group home for a
short period of time (the average length of stay is six months) while
staying in close contact with home, family, and friends. The purpose of
the program is to help the youth develop self-control and positive
decision-making skills. The ultimate goal is to return the youth to his
natural home.
A
multi-faceted approach to treatment is used. Each young man is assigned
to an individual counselor at admission. This counselor will serve as a
guide through the house program and will provide one-on-one interactions
to evaluate the resident’s progress. The in-house program is a
combination of individual skills building and group process. Substance
abuse counseling is provided by Bacon Street. Individual and family
counseling are provided locally. Educational needs are managed through
the James City School system. For those residents that are not eligible
for a school placement, there is an in-house educational program.
All
residents are admitted to the Crossroads program by a court order or a
placement agreement with a licensed child placing agency. Crossroads can
serve any of the local communities, but first preference is given to
residents of York County, Williamsburg, James City County, Gloucester,
and Mathews County.
