FLY’s programs and services are designed to ensure youth are equipped with everything they need to succeed in life and focus on preparation for independent living.
Our diversified and tailor-made treatment plan for each youth is based on his assessment, level of functioning, and needs. FLY House indeed contains the elements needed to turn lives around.
We are empowering our youth through programs and services that help with growth and development.
Our programs offer positive support and love to nurture our youth's capacity to succeed. FLY provides youth with non-traditional ways of:
- Thinking Critically
- Managing Anger
- Maintaining Self-Control
- Problem Solving
- Resisting Negative Peer Pressure
- Gaining a Better Understanding
- Expressing Gratitude / Empathy
We offer evidence-based treatment modalities such as Trauma-Informed Care; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; and Motivational Interviewing.
We have an in-house case manager and have partnered with a licensed therapist who specializes in treating adolescent males. We also partner with community agencies for workforce development and link our young men to case management and other services.
Our goal is explicitly to expand the perspective of our youth and bring awareness to achieve their full potential by equipping them with the necessary tools and opportunities to achieve life-long success. We focus on independent living skills and offer several groups, including:
- Life Strategies
- Aggression Replacement Therapy/Anger Management
- Teen Intervene
- Therapeutic Recreation
- Team Building
- Skill Building
- Social Skills and Self-esteem
- Independent Living Life Skills
- Positive Thinking
- Goal Setting
- Health and Hygiene
- Building and Maintaining Healthy Relationships
- Budgeting and Money Management
Self-awareness is the key foundation for emotional intelligence; however, awareness of the population served is crucial when motivating people to change.
We believe by creating a culturally responsive learning environment; we can empower our youth today for a better tomorrow.
Culturally responsive training/coaching is more about how you present than what you present. It involves meeting youth where they are and using a strength-based approach to mimic their cultural learning styles.
Primarily, however, when youth succeeds against all the odds, it is due to the determination of the youth themselves, their family members, and communities. When youth thrive, the community prospers.
