Group HomesDevereux Massachusetts and Rhode Island has a long history of providing therapeutic treatment to youth in group home settings. We are proud to have helped hundreds of individuals return to their homes, foster care or independent living environments.
To promote successful community living, our group home services include: psychoeducational groups; individual skills training; crisis support; clinical oversight of care coordination; development and implementation of behavior support plans; vocational training; family treatment; and recreational activities. Devereux Massachusetts and Rhode Island’s group home programming emphasizes skill generalization to provide age-appropriate, normalizing experiences, and encourages friendships with peers in the community. Participation in regular community-based activities is encouraged, as well as hobbies and activities, including:
To enhance independent living skills, Devereux works in line with the Positive Youth Development Framework, and incorporates the use of PAYA (Preparing Adolescents for Young Adulthood) education. Through these positive activities, youth are empowered to develop competencies that enable them to assume leadership roles and be better prepared for adulthood. Group homes provide a therapeutic environment with flexible individualized services that vary in intensity based on the needs of youth and their families. Treatment integrates trauma-informed care, evidence-based approaches and best practices, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). 1:4 Group Homes - MassachusettsThese group homes serve students with complex mental health and behavioral challenges.
