The Florence Crittenton Agency Inc

The second largest service is the crittenton youth services. This 32 bed non-secure residential program supports the treatment of adolescent females, ages 13 - 18, who have moderate to severe emotional and behavioral problems. On-site academic education, day treatment, individual and family counseling, and substance abuse education are provided to these adolescents. About 85% of these adolescents achieve permanency through stepdowns to family or relatives. A fully-accredited school provides residents with expanded educational opportunities that support their efforts for community placement and public education.

The fca's third largest program is new pathways academy (npa). This on-site school provides education for all youth in residential treatment programs. Npa is a fully accredited category 1 (non-public), title 1 school that provides daily classroom instruction to a special population of at-risk middle and high school students in state custody. These adolescents need highly focused instruction to help them stay in school, recover credits, establish a clear educational path, graduate from high school, obtain a hiset/ged, gain essential employment skills, assist in the community, and receive assistance on college and job applications.
