In its design, Jacob’s Ladder for Youth promotes socially acceptable and academically beneficial behavior. These strategies successfully encourage behaviors that counteract disruptive behavior through the following behavior management classes.

Jacob’s Ladder educates clients and their families to prevent delinquent behaviors, rebuild the family structure, time management, coping skills, anger management, and problem solving skills to make long-term healthy choices.

Jacob’s Ladder contributes to the broad spectrum of health care through treatment, education and Spiritual balance activities are optional, all of which aid in improving and maintaining physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning, like healthy eating programs, independent living skills. Expressive therapies such as art, music, and various ways encourage individual creativity and growth as well as pre-vocational experience.

Jacob’s Ladder coordinates weekly mentoring and tutoring through local partnerships and organizations that serve the community. Tutorial sessions are scheduled as needed. Jacob’s Ladder staff also maintains frequent contact with the schools and mentoring programs and agencies.

Jacob’s Ladder helps patients manage their self-injury or cutting which is an impulse control disorder that involves deliberately hurting oneself. This self-mutilating behavior is not done as an attempt to end one’s life; instead it is an unhealthy pattern some individuals use to cope with emotional pain, frustration, and anger. Our services teach better management and wiser options to develop a sense of peace and well-being as self harm is temporary and usually followed by shame and guilt.

Youth in this program will be given the opportunity to participate in groups, counseling, activities, events and workshops. The youth will be held accountable to complete all services.
