Foundation of Love for Youth (FLY House) is a qualified residential treatment program (QTRP) group home that provides 24-hour care residential services by professionally trained staff in a family-like atmosphere. We offer private bedrooms and operate a structured and goal-oriented home for male youth ages 12-18. Our youth attend public, charter, and private schools and are linked with a case manager who advocates for the student at school.
We have an onsite Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and offer evidence-based treatment modalities such as Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; and Motivational Interviewing. We focus on independent living skills and offer several groups. All our groups are facilitated by a specialist in the field.
FLY House's Calming Corner is equipped with a Stress Management and Resiliency Training Lab (SMART Lab), utilizing an advanced biofeedback technology therapy program that detects emotion and provides behavioral analysis to assist our youth in developing automatic coping skills through repetitive practice and learning. The program helps our youth control their stress and anxiety response by recognizing the physical signs and symptoms and employing relaxation techniques like deep, slow breathing, visualizations, and meditation to calm their physiological arousal.
We involve youth in positive activities, pursue interests to develop passions outside of a standardized academic context, and build professional skills that a classroom alone cannot always foster. The program is designed to grow our youth's talents and build confidence and motivation to enjoy various activities throughout their lives. The program strengthens the mind and promotes better time management skills. FLY House connects with the current generation's interests.
We are empowering our youth through programs and services that help with growth and development. We are passionate about empowering those who are of a low socioeconomic status due to long-standing inequalities, educational disenfranchisement, and lack of necessary life skills.
