How many 16- to 17-year olds does Range Mental Health Center serve? Are there different expectations for that age group?

Range Mental Health Center had 47 youth come through their program this year already, but only two were between 16 and 17. We will place a 16-year old in the Foyer only as long as it is appropriate, and we don’t anticipate that percentage to be very high.There will be different expectations for everyone, depending on their level of need at entry. It is likely that there will be different expectations for this age group. Individual service plans will stipulate expectations for each young person that enters the Foyer project. Some will have the need for permanent, affordable housing with a small amount of support. Some might already be working or working and going to school part-time and simply need a place to live. This individual would not require intensive case management. A young person, who has no life skills, little or no employment, has not finished school, or a mental health issue with depression will have more intensive case management and different expectations.
