Foster Care:

The Guiding Harbor Foster Care Program provides services to children birth through eighteen years of age. The program is designed to provide a nurturing setting for
children who are either temporarily or permanently unable to return to their family of
origin.

Girlstown Residential:
Girlstown is the oldest and most well-known program that Guiding Harbor offers,
successfully serving over 500 adolescent females since inception. The Girlstown
program is an open Residential Program that offers therapeutic residential care
for girls ranging from 12 to 17 years of age referred for emotional and/or behavioral problems that impact their ability to live in the world. We provided an array of servi-
ces to the young ladies in our care, including: mental health, psychiatric services,
routine and specialist medical care follow-up, education support, social and emotional skill building, independent living skills, healthy relationship development, etc.

Supervised Independant Living Program:
Guiding Harbor’s Supervised Independent Living (SIL) Program is designed to assist
young adults in developing independent living skills, enhancing educational/vocational
and career choices while offering employment opportunities. The Supervised Indepen-
dent Living Program offers services to youth age 16 and older, who are physically and emotionally able to master the skills and experiences offered. The clients referred to
this program must have a demonstrated history of functioning at a level appropriate
for community-based living. Youth are placed in homes with home providers or in in- dependent housing. Youth are expected to be self-motivated and responsible for their
life choices. A SIL provider is expected to support and encourage the youth in meeting
all goals set by the case management plan. There is no training required for this prog-
ram. Support to the SIL family is provided by a case manager who will also work directly
with the youth.
