The
Oasis Group Home, located on the North
Side of Pittsburgh, serves up to ten young women,
ages 15-18, who are referred from Children and
Youth Services and Juvenile Probation. Most
residents are in need of assistance with life
skills, education, and vocational training in
order to progress toward independence. |
Some
may be able to return to their families if their
behavioral issues can be adequately resolved.
Some require family therapy to reintegrate.
Others
with substance abuse or mental health issues,
must also be willing to address these issues and
abide by treatment recommendations. The Oasis
program provides a structured and supportive setting
for these at-risk young women to set new goals
and work to accomplish them. |
