community supports

Each and every day, Community Programs at Youth Alternatives Ingraham are hard at work with children and families in their homes, workplaces, the public schools, juvenile courts and local community centers — not to mention on the streets —helping to prevent and resolve the crises that tear families apart.

Our programs are:

multidimensional treatment foster care	— a brief yet effective 6 to 12 month placement for teens looking to get their lives back on track; learning social/emotional skills and effective problem solving.
