We accomplish our mission by:

- Individualizing each youth's treatment plan;
- Providing community-based treatment by involvement with public schools, community agencies, civil groups, neighbors, and state and city officials;
- Involving family members in the treatment process through family counseling, meditation and consultation;
- Helping youth achieve their goal of reunification with family members, whenever possible, transition to foster care, or emancipation.
