OUR RESIDENTIAL SERVICES

COUNSELING SERVICES

Counseling services are provided as indicated by the psychosocial assessment completed during the admission process. Individual and group counseling are provided to the girls based on their specific needs. When families are able to participate, family counseling is considered critical and is provided. Several licensed professional care workers make up our counseling staff.

BEHAVIOURAL TREATMENT

Positive reinforcement, natural consequences, modeling, and verbal prompting are among the social learning and cognitive-behavioral techniques used. The direct care staff may use Safe Crisis Management (SCM) techniques and other industry-standard interventions for behavior management.  We  does not employ aversive behavior management, seclusion, time out rooms, or mechanical restraints. We use techniques that are based on principles used in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for specifically identified behaviors. 

RECREATION & LEISURE SERVICES

A regular schedule of recreation and leisure opportunities offers a variety of options for residents participation on and off residency, as well as in the surrounding metropolitan Houston area. The goal of these activities overseen by the program facilitator in collaboration with the Direct Care Workers is to promote cooperation, engagement and stimulate interest and enthusiasm within our residents for participation in activities. By doing so, we explore their changing interests and developmental needs.

DIETARY PLANNING & NUTRITION

Meals are served and prepared family-style in the home. Nutritious meals are prepared in safe and sanitary conditions, and special diets are implemented according to physician orders when necessary. A registered dietitian provides monitoring and evaluation of the food service and assists direct care staff in dietary planning and nutrition education

Our Residential Centre is a distinguishing feature of The Amina Foundation. Our home houses our girls, resident care workers, a residential centre administrator and chef. This family-style environment allows children to learn skills in a setting that closely resembles their home environment.
