Non-Therapeutic foster care is traditional foster care that provides the caring, the safety and the security that kids need, no matter what their needs may be. We specialize in matching the children we serve with dedicated and caring home providers. Children in non-therapeutic foster care are typically developing kids in need of a safer, more stable living environment. Working with StepStone ensures that their needs will be met and maintained.
StepStone Residential Youth Services is designed to serve young people with emotional and behavioral issues or other special needs as well as juveniles in the justice system. Services offer intense supports which teach young people strategies for independent living as well as social and academic skills within residential treatment facilities or group home settings.
Foster parents are an important part of the treatment team and work in concert with a child’s therapist, case manager and social worker to ensure each child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
For Youth In-Home Care, StepStone offers an Intensive In-Home Program for children and adolescents from ages 5 – 18, who live in a community-based family system.
Our Life Skills Coaching services assist at-risk youth in their homes and community to support them in achieving independence and maintaining stability in their environment. We help teens learn the skills needed to prevent removal from their home and community due to legal involvement, drug and alcohol use, psychiatric needs and severe limitations in social and personal relationships.
StepStone offers outpatient therapy and counseling services for adults, adolescents, couples and families. Our services are available for any consumer in the communities we serve, as well as those clients who are already involved in our foster care program.
We work with at-risk youth and adolescents in their homes and in their communities to provide role modeling, therapeutic recreation, behavior management and modification, independent living skills training, tutoring, community integration and many other services. The young adults in our program are experiencing issues including academic difficulties, self-esteem issues, impulsive behaviors, physical isolation, verbal or physical aggression and substance abuse. They need to learn social and independent living skills and may be involved with a negative peer group. These young adults truly benefit from working with a mentor.
With Respite Services, we recognize that being the caregiver for a loved one is a rewarding job, but a demanding one. And everyone occasionally needs some time away. Our Respite Services provide support and a chance for the entire family to recharge and renew.
