Boys Town Integrated Continuum of Care
The Integrated Continuum of Care is unique to Boys Town and provides a tightly linked
spectrum of research-proven services based on the Boys Town Model of care.
Children and families can begin services at any point and move between levels all within the
same treatment model. This unique approach enables us to help more children and families in
more ways, with the same expectations for positive results. For children, this means being
successful in school, at home and on the job while growing into productive citizens. For
families, it means having a safe home, being able to solve problems and staying together.
To support the Integrated Continuum, fundamental principles cut across all service levels. These
Unifying Elements ensure we're always putting the needs of children and families first in providing
consistent, effective care and treatment.
Integrated Continuum Service Levels:
Residential Treatment Centers (EAST/WEST/SUDYKA)
Enhanced Family Homes
Intervention and Assessment Services
Family Home Program
Residential Treatment Centers (EAST/WEST/SUDYKA)
Residential Treatment Center
The Boys Town Residential Treatment Center is a medically directed program for children with
psychiatric disorders. These children's serious behavior issues require that they receive intensive
treatment in a short-term residential setting.
The program has two environments in which children can receive treatment, depending on their needs.
A facility-secure environment is offered for more seriously troubled children who require around-the-
clock supervision, intense therapy and numerous other safety and program features. A less-restrictive
staff-secure environment allows children to progress toward learning daily living skills and developing
appropriate, healthy socialization.
The Center is licensed by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services as a Mental Health
Center and Child Caring Agency. As part of Boys Town National Research Hospital®, the Center is
accredited by The Joint Commission.
When children no longer require the intensive level of care this program provides, they may step down
in our Integrated Continuum of Care® to the Boys Town Family Home Programs"', where professionally
trained caregivers help meet their daily needs. Children who need further medically directed
treatments receive it from professionally trained therapists in an outpatient setting.
Enhanced Family Homes
Enhanced Family Homes provide specialized care for up to six boys or girls, usually ages 10 to 18, in a
family-style setting. These children have serious behavioral and/or emotional problems and require
more attention and individualized care than a community-based foster home can offer. Married couples
called Family-Teachers and their assistants meet the children's daily needs while teaching social and
independent-living skills that will help them succeed in school, with their families and in the community.
Clinical and medical supervision is an integral part of the program and trained professionals are on call
for support 24/7.
Like all other services and programs in Boys Town's Integrated Continuum of Care, care provided
through the Enhanced Family Homes is based on the research-proven Boys Town Model.
Intervention and Assessment Services
Boys Town's Intervention and Assessment Services provide emergency, short-term, 24-hour care in a
residential setting for boys and girls ages 10 to 18. Many have been abused and/or neglected, are
runaways, or have come through the Juvenile Justice system. When youth enter these services,
professionally trained staff members begin assessing their safety, health, and treatment needs in order
to determine and plan for the best permanent care arrangement.
The primary goals at this level of service are to remove youth from dangerous situations and/or provide
temporary care. Every child receives an immediate behavioral intervention, and may also receive
additional clinical assessments based on the child's needs and the desire of the referral source. Staff
members also teach youth social skills, ensure that they continue going to school, and work with youth
(and when possible, their families) to develop individualized, skill-focused treatment plans that address
behavior problem areas. Whenever possible, staff help youth work toward reunification with their
family.
Like all other services and programs in Boys Town's Integrated Continuum of Care, care provided
through Intervention and Assessment Services is based on the research-proven Boys Town Model.
Family Home Program
At this service level, youth with serious behavioral or emotional problems live in a family-style home
and receive care from professionally trained married couples called Family-Teachers. Six to eight boys
or girls, usually ages 10 to 18, live in each home. The couple and a full-time Assistant Family-Teacher
are responsible for providing structured supervision for youth in their daily living and treatment
activities. This includes meeting the educational, medical, psychological, emotional, and behavioral
needs of the youth in care. A major focus of this program is teaching youth social, independent-living,
and educational skills, and helping them build healthy relationships with others. With a focus on
reunification, the Family-Teaching staff works with families to achieve permanency, safety, and child
well-being.
Like all other services and programs in Boys Town's Integrated Continuum of Care, care provided in the
Family Home Program is based on the research-proven Boys Town Model.
