Anchorage House

Residential Treatment - Ages 4-12

Admission Criteria: Adjudicated "Child In Need of Assistance" (CINA)

Family Resources' Anchorage House Program is a residential facility specializing in meeting the needs of young boys and girls ages 4 to 12. The youth in our care have been adjudicated CINA by the courts or have an adjudication pending. Most commonly, youth are placed at Anchorage House as a result of aggressive, oppositional and defiant behaviors now causing severe disruption at home and/or their school setting. At Anchorage House, we recognize that these behaviors are typically in response to some kind of traumatic abuse and/or neglect, therefore, the focus of the program is on self-esteem, anger, and relationship issues.

The following provides a summary of programming available at Anchorage House:

• A home-like setting located in a residential neighborhood
