Silvercrest is a live-in group home for boys, age 13 to 17, who are exhibiting harmful behaviors. We partner with Winnebago County to create a plan of care that fits the needs of each individual youth. Youth live with us while attending school in the local community and participating in community experiences.
The staff at Silvercrest Group Home use a trauma-informed approach to help youth gain and practice the skills necessary for long-term success. This includes independent living skills, anger management, and critical thinking. All services are designed to reinforce positive change through guidance, support and education.
Our Approach:
- Focus on the youth’s needs to be successful in the community. We want the youth to have the tools to be successful in the community, we want the youth to graduate high school or earning a GED, developing effective communication skills, learning independent living skills, understanding available resources, and enjoying constructive leisure activities.
- Develop a support system for the youth as they move back home or live independently.
- Located in a neighborhood close to community resources, public transportation and employment opportunities.
- Provide a family-like living environment
- Provide social/life skills development through groups or one-on-one mentoring.
