Valentine
Residential Community Home (RCH) and D.O.V.E.S. RCH,
which previously shared a divided building, have merged
to become one program providing services and support
to all adjudicated juvenile females requiring residential
placement in New Jersey. Residents range in age from
13 to 18. The program serves a maximum of 24 residents
with 2 relapse beds. The relapse beds are specifically
for those who have previously completed the program.
The length of stay is based on individual needs and
varies from 4 to 12 months. |

The
JJC utilizes gender specific programming that is designed
to meet the unique needs of female residents. An initial
assessment identifies the appropriate level within the
JJC’s continuum of care for each resident. Reassessments
throughout their program stay help ensure that needs
continue to be met appropriately. Residents participate
in individual and group counseling, a full academic
program, vocational training, and recreational opportunities. |

The
program provides comprehensive individualized care through
a treatment team approach that addresses behavioral,
substance abuse and developmental issues. Healthy living
is promoted in a safe and clean environment. An incentive
program stresses educational gains and independence
with the understanding that all residents will return
home. Each resident is supported physically, emotionally
and mentally through clinical services. The spiritual
needs of the residents are addresses on an individual
basis. The program strives to empower each young woman
to become a self reliant, confident, and well-rounded
individual.
