Through a contract with the Putnam County Department of Social Services, in conjunction with the Putnam County Probation Department, Green Chimneys provides intervention and prevention services to youth who are at risk of entering the juvenile justice system.
When a Person in Need of Supervision (PINS) complaint is filed by a parent or school official, the child and family are referred to the Green Chimneys PINS Prevention program. A licensed social worker works with the child and family to develop an individualized service plan, which includes individual and family goals to address identified risk factors. A contract with the youth and family members supports the goal of avoiding further involvement with the juvenile justice system/probation department. Preliminary mental health and substance abuse evaluations are completed and youth and families are provided with, or referred to, any needed services.
Trabajadores bilingües disponibles.
Jacob sheep are small, horned, black and white sheep which the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy has listed the North American population as a conservation priority. The breed produces a medium fleece which is sought after by hand spinners. Ziggy and her twin sister Rita were born in 2008 and are among a small herd of Jacobs that live at Green Chimneys. From gentle sheep, children learn valuable life lessons in kindness, patience, consistency and love.
