Evergreen Youth and Shelter Home
Instilling Change and Sheltering Youth In Crisis
Behavior change is the goal at the Evergreen
Youth and Shelter Home. Up to eight girls, ages 10 to 18, reside
in the home where they are guided to achieve individualized goals.
Evergreen Youth and Shelter Home is a 24 hour shelter facility, offering
emergency placements for youth in crisis as well as long term care.
Youth are placed in the home by the Department of Health and Human
Services and Youth Court Services as a result of emotional, social,
legal, or family issues. through a structured behavioral
management system, these youth achieve a basic foundation of
accountability, responsibility, integrity, respect, and self esteem.
Individualized goals are developed to meet each youth's unique needs;
addressing the problems requiring placement.
"My self esteem improved."
