The client is an important part of the Treatment Team. The Treatment Plan is built around the client’s unique and individual needs.

Change is a natural part of our lives. Garden Lakes teaches the youth how to cope and adapt to change. Real life experiences provide a natural environment to learn coping strategies and build life skills. The youth can take these new skills back to their home setting. Garden Lake is a community based group home. The youth in our program are active within the community because our program is structured around normalizing activity. The young people attend a neighborhood school and are encouraged to pursue other meaningful activity; such as, employment, recreational, and community service activities.
