We remain committed to that belief today. Our homes are designed to provide the children and youth in our care with a sense of trust, honor and belonging. Our focus is highly individualized based on the differing populations we serve. We establish positive and healthy boundaries and provide a compassionate environment to all children in our care.
VQ has in-depth experience with both long term and temporary shelter care for children and youth. We serve all genders in both the delinquency and child welfare systems in inner cities and rural areas.
VQ offers highly specialized residential care for numerous types of sensitive populations, including youth struggling with substance abuse issues, victims of sexual abuse, youth with specialized behavioral issues, unaccompanied children and adolescents transitioning into adulthood.
While the programs we use to care for youth are of extreme importance, equally important are the staff who work with the youth in these programs. VQ believes in combining the best of each of these aspects into one greater picture where youth are given help in an environment that surrounds them with a culture of caring adults.
By creating an environment that completely immerses youth in a positive culture, we aim to guide them to a healthy state of being through role models and examples. The positive relationships youth form with staff members provide a strong foundation upon which they can begin to build a more centered lifestyle.
These programs offer both long-term and temporary shelter care for youth of both genders facing complex issues. The specifics of the programs are tailored to meet the individual needs of the populations that are served, but we strive to establish positive and healthy boundaries for youth in every program while also allowing them room to grow.
These programs are designed to serve a wide variety of youth who face an equally wide variety of challenges. Youth in these programs often struggle with issues such as substance abuse, sexual abuse, behavioral issues, and difficulties transitioning into adulthood.
Community, and the trauma-informed care. Sanctuary model. Trauma-informed care to youth and how the staff interact with one another is also informed by that model. Meeting youth where they are at and providing the assistance they require sets them up for success in the future. Individualized care. Understanding where a youth is coming from. We advocate for our kids and help them navigate the system. Teach them how to learn to advocate for themselves.
We currently have Specialized Residential Care programs in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Delaware.
