Why Place With Lift Up Your Head
Lift up your Head is dedicated to the revitalization of children and our community. Our facility is set up as a safe haven and a family style living home, which offers more then just a place to lay your
head. We strongly feel that all children need the reassurance of love, respect and
compassion.
Our facility is designed to offer a plethora of opportunities and services. We offer
weekly group and individual counseling, as outlets for the children to discuss
issues, feeling or problems that they may be encountering. We also offer
Modified Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which combines standard techniques for
emotion regulation and reality-testing with concepts of, distress tolerance, and
acceptance. We have a strong mentoring program, which consists of individuals
that have been through similar situations as the children are currently going
through. We believe that physical fitness is the very important to maintain good
health.
We know that education is very important and we offer tutoring and vocational
training. Life skill, are essential in succeeding in adulthood. We have
implemented levels, point systems, and contracts in an effort to keep our children
on track and give them something to strive for.
We know and understand that most of the children that we encounter have
issues dealing with self-esteem, coping skills, aggression and general self
awareness.
That’s why we encourage support networks, anger management,
stress management, and relational skills. We know that these core values and
morals are very necessary for life and success in the real world.
Some of our additional services offered include 24 hour emergency
transportation, transportation to and from school, if school busing is not available.
We transport to therapy, dental, medical appointments and visits with biological
family. We participate in academic development focusing on a stable learning
environment by establishing meeting with school counselors to assist in the
development of Individualized Educational Programs (IEP’s) for each child.
By providing these outlets it would allow the building of a stronger foundation in
the development of social skills, increase positive self perception, and providing a
larger variety of opportunities and skills.
