JRI offers group-home programs designed to help youth gain and practice skills necessary for long-term success. Our group homes are designed to serve youth between the ages of 5 and 22, across a variety of setting opportunities, all designed to fit the needs of each individual youth. Youth live with us while attending school in the local community and participating in local community experiences. Our group-home teams partner with families to support youth coping with significant emotional, behavioral, and mental health issues as well as complex trauma. We provide cutting-edge, trauma-informed clinical interventions as well as opportunities for fun and joy.
