The
Valentine Residential Community Home formerly known
as Florence Crittenton Residential Group Center was
established on October 28, 1991 as the Juvenile Justice
Commission's first community based treatment facility
for female juvenile offenders. |
|
|
|
|
| |
All
of the Commission's facilities that serve female juveniles
are located on the Johnstone Campus in Bordentown. This
central location allows for a continuum of gender specific
services to be shared. The D.O.V.E.S. Program, which
is designed specifically for adjudicated females who
are chemically dependant, shares the same building,
however, the two unique populations receive separate
clinical services. The Valentine and D.O.V.E.S. programs
are located next door to the Commission's secure institution
for juvenile female offenders, the Juvenile Female Secure
Care and Intake Facility. |
|
|
|
|
| |
The
Valentine RCH provides female juveniles with comprehensive
services utilizing a treatment team approach. Females
are provided with an initial assessment to identify
the appropriate level of care. Residents participate
in individual and group counseling, a full academic
program, vocational training, and recreation opportunities.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Many
female juveniles come to the Commission with a myriad
of personal issues that have contributed to their delinquency.
Valentine RCH strives to empower young women to become
self reliant, confident, and well-rounded individuals.
The Commission utilizes gender specific programming
that is designed to meet the unique needs of female
residents. |
|
|
|
|
| |
The
program serves a maximum of twelve females between
the ages of 14 and 18. After renovations to the building
are complete, the Valentine Residential Community
Home will service up to 18 residents. |
