New Era
Parrott Creek New Era is a residential program for male identifying youth ages 13-18 who are in the custody of Child Welfare (ODHS) and who have been unsuccessful in traditional foster care settings or other residential placements.
New Era is a mindfulness-based program. All staff working in the program are conversant in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and facilitate treatment groups in mindfulness, emotional regulation and new skill acquisition for the youth. New Era uses Collaborative and Proactive Solutions as a behavioral intervention to help youth identify lagging skills and create their own solutions to internal and external problems. Family therapy is offered to keep youth connected with their loved ones and increase the likelihood of success if the youth is returning home at the end of treatment.
Treatment will involve providing psychoeducation around substance use, building emotional regulation skills, addressing underlying mental health concerns, and increasing communal recovery support. The treatment staff will provide individual, group, and family therapy depending on each youth’s treatment plan and needs.
