Description:
All children entering the LBJ Children's Center will be provided the opportunity to learn dependability, perseverance, and responsibility. Teaching residents how to care for themselves while having to be away from their family instills these values. Children are given certain chores within the center that will help them learn skills that will assist them in maintaining their own living environment in the future, but more importantly make them feel as they are contributing to the family unit and encourage our children to make a difference in their lives and the community as well. Children will have spiritual foundation from which they can draw and grow all their life. LBJ Children's Center offers a safe environment for both physically and emotionally abused children Some of the services that we will provide to these children that are placed at our facility, in addition to being a support system, include: -Rebuilding children's lives -Parenting classes -Psychological Evaluations -Medical/Dental Check-Ups -Individual/Family Therapy for short term crisis intervention -Assessment Services which will include recommendations concerning appropriate placements and levels of service -Opportunities for children to visit with family members -Effective social, academic and behavioral skills -Spiritual foundation -Structured recreation activities -Case management services to their families and homeless. -LBJ provides training classes for foster parents.
