Family Tree Program
At Douglas CARES, we know that a safe and loving family is the best place for a child to grow.
Family Tree combines highly skilled therapy for the whole family, with comprehensive case management and skills training into one program focused on helping families through crisis. The families served by Family Tree are working with Child Welfare to build safety and healthy connection. The team usually works with a family for about a year, supporting them through the hard times and into stability.
Roots Program
Roots was designed for youth under the age of 18 who have mental health challenges after experiencing abuse or neglect and have turned to substances to help them cope. Child abuse and neglect, like all adverse childhood experiences, put young people at increased risk of developing substance use disorders and problem gambling, making them less likely to graduate high school, or otherwise healthily integrate into society. With comprehensive support and integrated treatment, we can provide hope for our young people and help them see the value in themselves. Together, we can show our young people how important their light is to the world. Let's empower our youth to live fully integrated and thriving lives. With ROOTS, we encourage youth to Re-Imagine self, Overcome adversity, Obtain connection, Transform your life and Shine.
Here you will meet our staff members Janette Mydland and Stephanie Doud.
Group Therapy Offerings
Each of these therapy groups is carefully structured to provide a supportive environment where participants can heal, grow, and find comfort in shared experiences.
