Behavior Management Philosophy
 

Turning Point Youth Center is determined to maintain a safe and secure environment for its residents and staff. Residents receive treatment designed to change their thinking and behaviors by providing them with the skills necessary to make constructive changes in their lives. Based upon individual circumstances, inappropriate behaviors are often handled utilizing the following techniques: Time Out, Extended Time Out, Verbal De-Escalation, Non-Contact Directive, Escorts, and Restraints.

Following the exhibition of extreme inappropriate behavior, residents process their behaviors and the results of their actions one-on-one with staff members. During this processing, residents recognize the irrational thought patterns that led to their actions, in addition to identifying how to exhibit more appropriate behaviors in the future. In an effort to promote appropriate and suitable behaviors, positive reinforcement is delivered through a system comprised of both immediate and delayed rewards.
 

Case Management Services
 

Turning Point recognizes communication as being essential in a collaborative relationship between ourselves and any referring agency. Our Director of Community Relations, Clinical Director, Therapists, Case Managers, and Group Leaders are readily available to discuss a resident’s treatment and ongoing progress.

To further relay resident treatment progress, an Initial Treatment Plan (ITP) is composed for each resident and forwarded to their respective Case Worker(s) within thirty (30) days of admission to Turning Point. Each ninety (90) days thereafter, an Updated Treatment Plan (UTP) is developed and delivered to the applicable Case Worker(s). Additionally, we provide timely Court Reports and Release Plans, as well as weekly and monthly progress updates, if needed.
