ABOUT OUR YOUTH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
Our Youth<\/strong><\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Our youth have shown severe disruptive or distressed behavior in their school, the community or other settings, sometimes due to lack of support and guidance in their homes, physical or mental abuse, or because of unhealthy life choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our purpose is to provide the highest quality therapeutic care in a healthy family setting that will offer them access to the behavioral health services, guidance, and care they need by optimizing the strengths of the child and those of the foster family through the development of an individualized treatment plan based on their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Families<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Families certified by the Oasis program through the Ohio Department of Children and Youth are professionally trained with the abilities below in mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our training takes the basic attitude and supplies the tools of understanding the disturbed child, coping with distressed behaviors, establishing a warm, nurturing home environment, working with mental health and social service professionals, establishing short and long range goals for each child, understanding and appreciating each child\u2019s family ethnic and cultural background and having the patience to accept the challenges as well as the triumphs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
Welfare of our Youth<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

At Oasis we believe that the care given by our families and staff should encompasses the welfare of the whole person, his\/her emotional, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, each child is free to grow in his\/her own faith, unless it is one that is destructive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All youth will be provided with the opportunity and expectation to attend worship or Sunday School services, and to participate in other practices and activities that will promote their spiritual and emotional development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff and foster parents will ensure that each child has the opportunity to practice his\/her respective religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Placements through the Oasis Therapeutic Foster Care Network are both short and long term as well as temporary respite care.<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
