The Assessment Center provides a safe place for youth to stay while they await placement within the Foster Care system. Youth at the Assessment Center have the opportunity to engage in art activities, play video games, listen to music, and read a book. Since the Assessment Center has become a licensed facility, youth can stay at the Assessment Center for up to 72 hours. This training focuses on modifying program culture to promote social, emotional, and intellectual well being of foster youth while they are at the Assessment Center. Providers will contribute to supporting foster youth’s developmental needs and restoring developmentally appropriate functioning.
