Turning point center for youth and family development, inc. (the organization) is dedicated to improving the lives of youth and their families. Through a variety of programming, the organization provides children and their families with the tools they need to overcome life's many obstacles and ultimately to become empowered, healthy and responsible members of their communities. The organization provides the following programs: 1) adolescent intensive outpatient program - the organization's intensive outpatient program is designed to provide a high level of treatment intervention to support youth in their home and community. Trauma-informed care is provided in a group, individual, and family/caregiver setting. The program includes treatment for substance use and mental health needs for youth 14-17 years of age. They will attend 6 hours of in-person groups per week, with additional 3 hours for individual family therapy, and behavior coaching. This is funded through dhs, dys, and private insurance and medicaid. 2) outpatient services - the organization offers supportive individual and family therapy and counseling on an outpatient basis. The organization's experienced therapists specialize in working with youth and family issues including substance abuse, mental health and behavior concerns, and family conflict. The organization also offers in-home family therapy and intensive substance abuse treatment. 3) coaching/mentoring - behavior coaching is a skill-based mentoring service. The organization works with youth, parents, and families in supporting growth and development in life skills, coping skills, behavioral support, parent coaching, educational or vocational support, and so much more. Behavioral coaching focuses on three major areas: life skills, coping skills and interpersonal skills development. The coaching service is intended to be flexible and adapt to youth and families' unique needs. Regardless of the specific family or individual need, coaching provides clients with strategies to improve their current level of functioning and increase positive social, mental health, or personal functioning. 4) dui classes & counseling - the organization offers dui/dwai classes that use the highly effective Colorado impaired driver education program (idep) curriculum. Idep is accepted statewide by probation and the courts for all dui/dwai offenses.
