INTENSIVE IN-HOME

CANEI can be successfully implemented while a youth lives in his/her own home if there is at least one adult in the home physically and emotionally available to support, guide and monitor the youth's progress. In this model the teen joins others involved in the program at a neighborhood site for up to twenty (20) hours of programming per week for a minimum of twelve (12) weeks.

THERAPEUTIC FOSTER CARE

Specially trained foster parents serve one or two adolescents at any given time. Foster homes are organized in geographic clusters with not more than fi fteen (15) homes per cluster. Supported by
licensed professional staff and lay mentors known as
advocates, foster parents work as team members to
reinforce and integrate the values, skills and philosophies
of CANEI into their home and the youth's daily life.

SITE SPECIFIC CANEI

This is an abbreviated CANEI program offered via group
therapy to young people living in residential treatment
centers or institutions of confi nement. Generally meeting
two (2) times per week for two (2) hour sessions, youth
are introduced to the core concepts of CANEI and
encouraged to begin a process of self examination and
personal growth. Upon release from residential or
institutional placement, youth may then be referred to
the Intensive In-Home or Therapeutic Foster Care
component of CANEI. CANEI staff represent diverse
interests and backgrounds but are united by a common
commitment to serving youth and living the CANEI
mantra, “we won't give up until you succeed”!
