Collier Group Home is a residence for ten teenage girls who are unable to live in their own homes due to significant and longstanding personal or family issues. The girls live together in a warm, attractive setting where they interact with each other and supportive adults. Staffed twenty-four hours a day by professional counselors, the residence provides a stable and affirming environment in which girls prepare to return to their homes or independent living.

Admissions:

Candidates are referred to the Group Home through the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P), Care Management Organizations, and Youth Case Management. Girls may also be identified as needing this service by schools, mental health centers, social service agencies, the courts, and private practitioners.

A referral packet should contain:

• Social History
• Mental Health Evaluation (if applicable)
• Educational Evaluation and IEP (if applicable)
• Complete Health History
• Birth Certificate
• Social Security Card

An intake interview will be scheduled to allow the candidate to view the program and determine if placement in the program is appropriate. Upon entry, each new resident is also interviewed by the consulting psychologist.
