South Side Community Center, cont. YouthLink Day Reporting Program. Community youth who are involved with the Juvenile Justice System, but considered low to moderate risk of re-offending can be referred by the court to attend this day reporting program at South Side Community Center to build assets and relationships in an effort to change their negative behaviors. Participants and their caregivers are assessed and set goals needed to enhance life skills, education, and recreation needs in order to live crime free. Empowerment assets (young people being given useful roles in the community) are supported for youth ages 13 through 17 years. The length of participation depends on how quickly the child succeeds in achieving goals to move through 3 phases of requirements, spending from 10 to 40 hours per week in the program. There is a minimum of 90 days participation for each child. Once the youth graduates, families still have access to the center on a drop in basis for support and care.

Crisis Intervention - Therapists are available to respond to callers who request services to assist in coping with a wide variety of challenges in living. Challenges include child abuse, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress responses, addictions, sexuality issues, interpersonal relationship problems, and family relation problems, among others. Individual, Family, Couples, and Group - Specially trained therapists respond to a wide-variety of issues such as relationships, post traumatic stress recovery, sexual abuse recovery for children and adults, sexual abuse and incest survivor’s groups, school problems, substance abuse, addiction, co-dependency issues, parent/child conflicts, child behavior management, depression, stress/anxiety, and parental stresses. Parenting Enrichment/Educational Group: (Parenting Partners) The Parenting Classes through CFRC use the Active Parenting Program; a video based learning program. The parenting skills that are taught in Active Parenting are described as an "authoritative approach" (as opposed to autocratic and permissive) and include such methods as natural and logical consequences, recognizing the goals of behavior, family meetings and problem solving skills, the importance of encouragement and much more. The sessions are derived from the Active Parenting Now Program. This program is for parents of children ages 5 through 12. It is designed to help teach parents how to raise responsible, cooperative children who are prepared to meet the challenges of the teen years. This program will provide parents with skills that will help them develop cooperation, responsibility and self-esteem in their children. The program also teaches parents about the 40 Developmental Assets and how to build assets in their children. They’ll also learn positive, non-violent discipline techniques so they can avoid power struggles. The classes are held in a 6 week period. They meet once a week for 2 hours. The class provides parents with the materials they need. Each participant takes home a book that they keep to review any concepts and to do their assignments. There is one book that is used for the whole session. SAFTIP (Sexual Abuse Family Treatment and Intervention Program) - Assessments/evaluations and treatment for sexual abuse survivors. Individual, family, couple, and group counseling for survivors, parents, and siblings are available. Therapists are specially trained in sexual abuse recovery/healing treatment. Specialized sex offense specific services include evaluation, treatment, group therapy, and case management in some cases for adult and adolescents with sexual behavior issues. The groups are facilitated by therapists specially trained in the area to facilitate recovery.
