Our residents complete an initial assessment using the Ansell Casey Life-Skills Assessment and the Pikes Peak Learning Assessment, to determine their strengths and what areas still require developing. We are then able to track thier progress with quarterly assessment. This information is sent directly to the social worker.
Our program also provides training in Heath and Nutrition for Pregnant or Parenting Teen Curriculum. This is to ensure that the teen develops healthy eating habits and understands changes occurring in her body.
