Page 3 <br /> <br />PROGRAM SUMMARY <br /> <br />Statement of the Problem: <br /> Information received from the NC Division of Youth Services and Cabarrus <br />County Juvenile Court for 1997 indicates that there were 447 delinquency complaints <br />issued. From these complaints, 319 juveniles were adjudicated delinquent. In calendar ' <br />year 1997, 42 juveniles were placed in secure detention (a 40% increase over 1996) and <br />8 placed in training school. Without any intervention, many of these youth are likely to <br />reoffend. While secure detention and training schools are options for placement, <br />residential treatment at Uwharrie Homes, Inc. has been identified as a viable and <br />successful alternative. <br /> <br />Program Goal: (Purpose of the Program) <br /> Uwharrie Homes, Inc. exists to provide residential treatment services (up to 1 <br />year) to adolescent males, in a structured and consist family-type atmosphere. As a <br />treatment facility, we strive to improve school attendance to every day as well as <br />improve school performance to at least a "C" average. Tutoring is provided regularly by <br />Resident Counselors and others. These goals are monitored daily through school <br />behavior point sheets and communication with school officials. Periodic report cards <br />also reflect progress in this area. Reduction of antisocial, delinquent, and inappropriate <br />behaviors at school and home are also client goals. These are identified individually <br />with each client and are listed and agreed upon with the client's participation. An <br />increase in positive behaviors is monitored by Resident Counselors and evidenced by <br />daily progress notes, notes from school and home visits, and no new court referrals. An <br />improvement in social and communication skills is also sought. Daily school notes, <br />positive home visits, and interpersonal relationships at the group home offer evidence of <br />the progress toward this goal. We also hope to achieve improved family relations by <br />offering training in positive parenting, supervision, and in using appropriate <br />consequences. Ultimately, it is the goal of Uwharrie Homes to enable the client and <br />family to function productively and learn to communicate positively. Further, it is our <br />goal for the client to increase his respect for authority, himself, and others, and to. <br />become a positive, contributing part of society. <br /> <br />Target Population: <br /> Adolescent males ages 10 - 17 who have been adjudicated <br />delinquent/undisciplined, are at a high dsk of delinquency, or identified as emotionally <br />disturbed. Priority areas of service are Union, Stanly, and Cabarrus Counties. <br /> <br /> <br />
