| Length of Stay: | A child’s length of stay depends on many factors. How well they respond to their individual service plan and the conditions of the home environment are factors in their return home. Some children do not have a home to return to. |
| Philosophy: | Joy Ranch Philosophy Joy Ranch is committed to a family-based orientation in the treatment of children. Joy Ranch has attempted to gain the benefits of residential life while retaining a family life atmosphere. Our programs have been developed with the understanding that the child grows through developmental stages that impact the five areas of the person, these being the physical, cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual. The program makes use of an eclectic approach to problem solving which includes Reality Therapy, Behavioral-Cognitive Therapy, and Psycho-Social Theory. The mission and objectives of all programs at Joy Ranch is to bring wholeness and wellness to the child and his or her family. |
| Tuition/Costs: | It costs Joy Ranch an average of $100.00 per day to provide care for a child. |
| Specialties: | Sexual Integrity Program While this topic is Biblically intended to be a private issue and not for public discussion, the sad reality is that one in three youths have been molested or sexually abused. Though not all of the youth who come to Joy Ranch have suffered such atrocities almost all have a twisted sense of what the Lord intended the sexual relationship to be. Due to the media presentation of intimacy, youth believe lies regarding themselves and others. Joy Ranch strives to meet all the needs of residents and unfortunately in today’s world this includes teaching them about sexual integrity. The program focuses in two specific areas – forgiveness and commitment to God and self. Overall, forgiveness is a point of struggle for the youth served. Therefore, this element coupled with commitment to God and self for sexual purity serves to set the youth on the road to sexual integrity |
