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, while providing 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.
