The Emergency Crisis Shelter, with direct connection to the Assessment Center, is
a 16-bed facility providing short-term shelter for youth who are in need of a safe
haven, are runaways, or are awaiting placement into a residential treatment setting.
The Crisis Shelter serves youth from ages none (9) to eighteen (18). Shelter is
provided for males and females. This is a non-secure setting that operates 24 hours
a day 365 days a year.
|
Youths are referred and admitted into the Shelter by law enforcement, assessment
staff, outside agencies, or protective services. Self-referrals are taken and parent/guardians
may also make referrals after a complete assessment is conducted. The Shelter collaborates
closely with the Navajo Nation to provide services for youths who are in the custody
of their system.
|
Programming is provided for all youths housed in the shelter. Life Skills courses
take place weekly, covering topics such as alcohol/drug abuse, anger/stress management,
personal hygiene, runaway, and goal setting. Art classes and religious services
are provided for residents on a voluntary basis.
|
Education is provided for shelter youth by Farmington Municipal School District
operating on the regular school schedule.
