Intercept – Lasting Positive Impact

Do you know a family who is struggling in its home, school, or community? Intercept has so many ways to help! It was started in 1996 as a group home where children in the community were made to feel at home. Then a plan was put in place to teach children pro-social behaviors by behavior interventions, therapeutic intervention, and staff modeling. Since 1996, Intercept has grown from one group home to becoming a full service provider throughout Virginia.    

    

Currently, Intercept offers over ten different services, from residential homes to school and community-based assistance. Many community resources partner with Intercept, with vital clinical oversight provided by a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist. This is a powerful combination of support for the youth and families of our community.      

Intercept is not a one-size-fits-all service provider. It has developed the "Lifebridge Continuum of Care," which ensures a fluid and flexible continuum among all treatment provided. The goal of Intercept is to form and change services and treatments based on the needs of the individual child, adolescent, adult or family.

One of the services provided through "Lifebridge Continuum of Care" is called 360 Transition Solutions. This helps youth, ages 5-21, with re-entry into the community by teaching daily living skills, and assisting with communication and social-emotional needs. Transitional specialists and Life Coaches set goals with the individual to prepare them for self- sufficiency and improve their skills.

Another service is BabySteps, which is a unique community home designed to support pregnant teens and young mothers (ages 13-19). The goal is achieved with mental health treatment, community connections and parenting skills. Some of these services include "Labor Watch," "Mom's Night Out," "Dad and Me," and "Operation Mommy." Check out their website to see what these programs offer, along with everything else you want to know about Intercept. http://www.interceptyouth.com
