CANEI is the acronym of Constant and Never Ending Improvement. CANEI is an innovative program for adolescents with histories of aggressive, defiant or violent behavior served by the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.

Collectively, these young people pose a steep, escalating challenge to traditional models of care and represent a population for whom many have given up hope.

CANEI proposes that youth violence is a learned behavior, a rationally linkable reaction to victimization caused by physical, sexual, and emotional traumas or social disenfranchisement.

CANEI is a strength-based program that seeks to help adolescents restore confidence and control to their lives.

CANEI's holistic approach is a cost effective alternative to group/residential care, incarceration and hospitalization.

CANEI is committed to best treatment practices. Internal quality management staff and external evaluators compare outcomes for each model of implementation and component of care with the singular goal of continuous improvement in program design and outcomes for youth.
