The Residential Program

Goal Oriented Treatment: A Focus on Respect, Responsibility and Community

Each resident has an Individual Treatment Plan that serves as a "road map" to assist residents in achieving their goals in all aspects of their lives: personally, academically and behaviorally. Goals are based on the ideals of RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY and COMMUNITY. Clear and concise objectives are generated for each Treatment Goal, providing each resident and family measurable outcomes of success. Where indicated, local mental health professionals can be utilized on an individual and family basis to further ensure a successful reunification.

The Chase Home is licensed by the State of New Hampshire to provide residential treatment services for a maximum of 25 male and female adolescents who, for a variety of reasons, cannot live at home.  Services include behavior modification, individual, family and weekly group therapy, psycho-educational groups, family outreach, educational and vocational counseling and independent living skills building. Other program enhancements include art, photography, a challenge course, a computer lab and a woodworking shop.

Residents at The Chase Home are referred through the Division of Children Youth and Families (DCYF) or through the Division of Juvenile Justice Services (DJJS) for cases of Delinquent Youth or CHINS – Child in Need of Services.  All placements are made through the Court. The Chase Home is a community based program.  As such, all residents attend public school and receive therapy and medical services in the community.  Residents also participate in recreational, cultural and volunteer opportunities in the community.
