The PLYP Group Homes are designed to provide a nurturing environment for adolescents. We empower adolescents to identify and evaluate behaviors and issues causing problems in their lives, educate and teach them skills, and provide an environment where issues can be worked through assertively within the program or by utilizing existing community resources. We promote and assist communication and problem solving with families.
