On-site Program Manager

Who we are:

Apple Brooke is a youth treatment program focused on developing positive and healthy relationships between the individuals, family and community that support our clients. We encourage positive growth with outcome base services, which focus on increasing the child’s behavioral stability, increase school stability, increase placement stability and increase the potential to reach permanency. A major focus is to develop the necessary supports which would allow the client to maintain or develop a permanent family connection and to reside in his/or her own community in an identified permanent residence. We believe that family involvement in treatment is critical to achieving successful outcomes in our most important treatment goal reunification. Acknowledgement and support for each client’s individual culture and belief’s is an integral part of Apple Brooke’s program and that all outlets will be utilized when accessing services for culturally diverse clients.
