We offer counseling for the parents, the victim in the family, and the resident. We also teach the residents about their future responsibilities in becoming an adult toward their children.</div> <p> <div class="subhead">Our Goal</div> <div class="plntext">We provide residential treatment for emotionally disturbed adolescents ages 12 through 18. We are licensed to provide services for 6 children per home and presently have 4 homes throughout Santa Barbara County. We accept residents placed through the Department of Probation, Department of Children's Services, the Department of Mental Health and Adoptions.</div> <p> <div class="subhead">Our Process</div> <div class="plntext">We hire and train staff members who consistently work toward helping the residents to be the best they can be in whatever positive behavior they choose. Each house has a Child Care Supervisors and Child Care Workers. S Each resident receives individual therapy, group therapy, sexual offender therapy, and family therapy. Specialty groups such as sex education and anger management are also offered. We have on staff two licensed clinical psychologists, licensed MFT's, LCSW's and master degree interns. We have two psychiatrists that provide psychiatric and medication evaluations. Therapy consists of discussing why they are in a group home, what they can do to change their life and how to achieve results. They discuss their own individual concerns, past traumas and emotional, physical and sexual abuse. The homes for sexual issues provide a workbook concerning sexual issues and offenses for the residents.</div> </td> </tr> </table> <hr width="80%"> <div class="subhead" align="center">Sweeney Youth Homes</div> <div class="plntext" align="center">100 North Hope Ave. #14<br> Santa Barbara, CA<br> 93110<br> <br> 805-563-0448/805-563-0266 office<br> 805-563-0507805 563-0507 fax<br> <a href="mailto:syhomes3@yahoo.com">syhomes3@yahoo.com</a> </div> </center></div> <p align="center"> </p>  </body>
