• Youth referred for intensive supervision group home services (HIP) or longer term group home services are those who are Court adjudicated dependent or delinquent and have one of the following needs: committed an act of delinquency or are participating in inappropriate acts within the community that may lead to an adjudication of delinquency, need transition from a more secure environment to the community setting, to prevent a foster care disruption, as well as individual needs as designated by the county representative.    Issues can include but are not limited to truancy, school problems, drug and alcohol issues, theft, disorderly conduct, and foster home/adoptive home disruption.  Clients served for transition services can also include those exiting other residential services that would benefit from re-entry planning and service provision.

• Emergency Shelter clients are those that need a safe, staff-secure placement, usually for 1-30 days, for various reasons such as; immediate protection from an abusive or neglectful situation, a violation of community based probation, awaiting an opening at a placement facility, awaiting a hearing date, etc.

• The Transitional Living Program (TLP) at Hermitage House provides female apartments for youth between the ages of 16 and 20 who have exhibited the maturity, trust and responsibility needed to function in this less structured setting. Youth accepted into the program do so after a successful stay in a group home, RTF, or foster home. For those entering HHYS from another facility, a stay within the residential program is needed to show the knowledge and behavioral stability for this program. The goal of TLP is to prepare a youth to love successfully within the community and acquire the skills to do so while residing in a safe and secure environment. Youth in the program often do not have a home to return to and are in need of transition planning services.

• Transition services are provided in the areas of life skills, job preparation and/or employment, education, secondary education or vocational planning, money management, proper use of leisure time, substance education and other identified areas of need. Services strive to remove the barriers and facilitate healthy and safe transitions to independence. Although learning skills is important, it is also necessary for youth to practice the skills through everyday life responsibilities. With this in mind, youth live in apartments with up to 2 other youth where they are responsible to prepare a menu, purchase food within their budget, prepare meals, keep their bedroom and apartment clean, use their free time properly, get up for school and/or work in a timely fashion, use social skills in getting along with their roommates, and attend to their daily treatment responsibilities. Staff are available for monitoring, transportation, support, advice, and transition planning.
