Latency Intensive Group Home

The Latency Intensive Group Home (IGH) serves children from ages 6-12 years in a structured, routine-based home-like environment. Children served present with a variety of characteristics and most are diagnosed with a significant emotional disturbance due to significant adverse life events (i.e., physical abuse, sexual abuse, severe neglect, exposure to substance abuse, pervasive disruption in primary caregivers, residential instability and/or homelessness) that negatively impact their functioning at home, school, and community. Individual behaviors may include physical aggression and self-harm, poor impulse control, limited coping skills, poor social skills, and trauma reactive behavior.
