The Arbor House Youth Shelter provides temporary residential and respite services and case management to youth who have run away, been displaced from their home, are homeless, need a break due to family conflict, have been discharged from a residential facility, or who cannot be home for other reasons.

Youth receive counseling and guidance to assist them in identifying areas of conflict and setting goals that work toward improving their living environment and family communication while promoting positive interpersonal growth.

The Youth Shelter is a voluntary safe house that serves youth, ages 12-17, and has a maximum stay of 30 days. During their stay, youth will receive an array of services including individual and family counseling, case management services, referral assistance and life skills training. Youth will also participate in recreational activities and group meetings that enhance social skills and positive peer interaction. While a youth is receiving residential services through Arbor House, they will be maintained in their current school program.

Arbor House also offers a case management program providing individual and family counseling and intervention services to youth, up to 21 years, who are experiencing conflict within the home, have run away or are thinking of running away, or who have been displaced from their homes.

Case Management Services assist with achieving goals and maintaining a safe living environment. Services provided from other service providers will be coordinated by the case manager in order to ensure the best provision of services for youth and families. Case Managers can also provide referral assistance, legal and educational advocacy and basic need assistance.

Crisis Intervention can be accessed through a case manager or through our 24-hour crisis hotline to provide immediate intervention for youth and families.
