Arlington House provides short-term emergency shelter care for youth 11
through 17 years old. Adolescents in our care are in crisis and need a safe
and secure environment. The shelter's therapeutic program encourages
individuals to identify challenges in their lives and prepare for further
placement. Each child is assigned two primary counselors responsible for
helping work on goals, advocating for the youth and staying abreast of the
child's emotional and behavioral concerns. Therapeutic intervention is
offered in three areas:
Counseling Services Counseling helps individuals deal with issues that
include anger management and reduction, grief and loss and development
of healthier coping skills. We also help reunify families by improving their
communications in addition to developing family rules and appropriate
boundaries to ease a successful transition back home.

- Medical assessment within 24 hours
- A highly standardized daily routine
- Positive reward level system
