What is a group home for teens?

A group home is a supervised living space for teens who need special mental health care. They may be private or state run. Some are single sex, while others accommodate both boys and girls. Group homes typically provide the following:

  • Safety and supervision: These homes provide a safe setting under the watchful eye of trained staff.
  • Peer interaction: Teenagers interact with and build connections with peers.
  • Life skills training: Teens are taught basic skills for everyday living.

Limitations of traditional youth group homes in Kuna

Traditional group homes for troubled teens provide stability, but most cannot effectively address severe behavioral, mental health, or substance use challenges. Here are a few shortcomings to consider:

  • Generalized care: Basic therapy may not adequately address the complex issues of troubled teens.
  • Lack of personal attention: The one-size-fits-all approach of most group homes make them ill-prepared to offer personalized care.
  • Limited academic support: Group homes have structured routines but often do not provide educational help.
  • Only basic skills training: Group homes teach basic skills but do not offer comprehensive training for teens with severe mental health issues.

Unlike traditional teen group homes, Avery’s House offers specialized care tailored to each teen’s unique needs.

Beyond group homes: Avery’s House residential treatment center

At Avery’s House, we not only address immediate symptoms and struggles but also work holistically to help teens build resilience and coping skills, develop a support network, and cultivate a positive mindset to achieve lasting behavioral improvements. To do this, we combine the following key components:

Family Involvement

  • We work with families, encouraging family therapy sessions and teaching families techniques to continue supporting their teen after treatment.

Academic Services

  • We offer robust academic support to ensure teens don’t fall behind in school. We also teach skills that facilitate classroom participation, assignment completion, and peer collaboration.

Medication Management

  • For teens who could benefit from medication, we monitor and tweak regimens based on clinical recommendations to ensure safety and optimize outcomes.
