WestCare Women and Children's Campus

More about WestCare Women and Children's Campus

The Serenity Program is designed to meet the specific needs of women 18 years and older in a residential setting. This program gives the women the opportunity to accept responsibility, problem solve, build self-esteem and respect themselves and others. Treatment is based on a gender-responsive modified therapeutic community model. This model embraces the concept that behavioral change can occur though positive peer support and peer pressure. In conjunction with individual and group counseling, seminars, lectures, education and self-help support groups, a client learns that destructive behavior is self-defeating and works on issues that will diminish this behavior as well as reinforce positive lifestyle choices. This model represents a highly structured environment with well-defined attitudinal and behavioral boundaries. The model employs community responsibility, as well as earned progressive advancement of status and privileges, as part of the recovery and growth process.

Veterans

One of WestCare's priorities, as we work to strengthen people and communities, is to reach out to and provide specialized services to veterans. We work together with community agencies that serve veterans to ensure that we are offering needed services and that we are providing the best care possible for the people who have given so much to our country. WestCare makes referrals to veteran-specific resources, such as the Veterans' Administration and U.S. Vets to ensure that every veteran we serve has a plan of care specific to his or her needs.
