The shelter program operated by Parks Youth Ranch, Inc is offered to youth ages 7 to 17 for up to 90 days. Shelter, education and mental health are our primary focus areas for the residents at Parks Youth Ranch. Individual and group counseling services are available to all residents at The George Counseling Center. We are very appreciative of the partnership with Fort Bend Independent School District for helping us to meet the educational needs of our residents .
On-site intervention is provided at the George Counseling Center. Assessments and counseling services are provided for youth who have experienced trauma, homelessness or abuse and neglect.
The primary objectives of both the shelter and counseling center programs are to provide an in-depth assessment of the individual challenges that keep the youth out of the home and develop a well thought out and realistic plan that addresses the unique circumstances of each resident. Permanency, stability, safety and emotional well-being in after care placements are the optimal goals for each youth.
