NEW DIRECTIONS

New Directions is a 501(c)3 non-profit agency with a heritage going back more 130 years. Our mission is to foster resilient, self-reliant families and permanence for at-risk children in the shortest time possible, by promoting safe, respectful, responsible, and goal-directed behavior. We do this through our dedicated, caring staff and by employing our treatment philosophy of Normative Culture... New Directions believes that families need to be in charge of their own treatment. Identification of strengths and needs and a further understanding of family culture will result in more appropriate, responsive intervention and facilitation. Personal and family empowerment are central. In cases where children do not have a family resource, New Directions is committed to developing a permanent resource as quickly as possible.
