Details: The Residential Treatment Programs of Family Resources are located on the 10 acre campus known as the "Wittenmyer Youth Center" at 2800 Eastern Avenue, Davenport, IA. The Wittenmyer Youth Center is located off Eastern Avenue in Davenport, Iowa along the public bus route. The Wittenmyer Youth Center campus is home to enhanced residential treatment facilities known as Bridge House, Leslie, SUMMIT and Victory House. These programs provide treatment for children who are unable to live in a family situation. Children residing in our facilities receive a high degree of supervision, structure, and therapeutic services. Wittenmyer Youth Center is a non-smoking campus. Smoking is not allowed in any building, parking lot or on the grounds of campus. Family Resources' Bridge House Program is a residential facility for adolescent females ages 12 to 18. The adaptable milieu management model at Bridge House enables the program to serve clients of varied intellectual and social functioning levels. We understand that girls respond to crisis in their lives differently than boys, therefore, the treatment at Bridge House is designed to meet the specific needs of girls. Most of the young women in our care have suffered some type of physical, emotional or sexual abuse. They carry varied mental health diagnoses and are acting outward/inward in destructive ways. Bridge House offers a safe place for girls to explore themselves, their feelings and their disruptive patterns of behaviors. Family Resources' Leslie Program is a secured residential setting for males ages 12 to 18 who are adjudicated delinquent and demonstrate a need for a secured setting based on criminal history, substance use, and/or history of elopement. We recognize the need for secured placement may vary, therefore we are able to offer flexible and individualized programming in order to best meet the goals of each resident. We utilize a cognitive-behavioral approach incorporating milieu, individual therapy, group therapy, families, and communities. The S.U.M.M.I.T. Program provides residential programming for adolescent males ages 12 to 18 years old with varying backgrounds and histories of system involvement who would benefit from a short term residential stay (3-6 months). Clients are either Adjudicated Delinquent or Child in Need of Assistance and court ordered into foster group care. Clients have either acquired delinquent charges prior to placement or are experiencing such severe disruptive at home or in the community that future delinquent behavior is probable without intervention. S.U.M.M.I.T. has successfully been used either as an initial effort, prior to longer-term residential placements, or as an alternative to previously failed placements. We utilize a cognitive-behavioral approach incorporating milieu, individual therapy, group therapy, families and communities. Family Resources' Victory House Program is a residential facility for adolescent males ages 12 to 18. The adaptable milieu management model at Victory House enables the program to serve clients of varied intellectual and social functioning levels. The residents at Victory House have either acquired delinquent charges prior to placement or are experiencing such severe disruption at home or in the community that future delinquent behavior is probable without intervention. With that in mind, Victory House focuses on victim empathy, self-esteem and family relational issues.
