Parent & Family Resources

Green Chimneys Community Based Services are inherently preventive in nature and designed to keep children in their community and with their families, avoiding residential placement whenever possible. Parent & Family Resources include access to assessments, social supports, and service coordination to help families provide the best care for their children.

An experienced staff of certified social workers, case managers, program managers, administrators and interns work closely with youth and families to provide individualized services, skill-building tools and resources to support positive individual and familial development, self-reliance and healthy communication.

Llamas

Llamas, like Alexa and Summer Wind, are very social animals and live with other llamas as a herd. They are intelligent, inquisitive, and can learn simple tasks after just a few repetitions. The wool produced by a llama is very soft, versatile, and lanolin-free and, each Spring, Green Chimneys students help sheer our llamas and the wool is made into yarn which is for sale at our country store! Llamas eat grass, hay, corn silage, alfalfa, and grass roots, and adults can drink 3 gallons of water a day.
