Child abuse and neglect wreaks havoc on a child's mental and emotional health. Children may develop behavioral and emotional symptoms to cope with complex trauma, or perhaps even to forget or suppress the traumatizing memories. A child's response to abusive treatment depends on the severity and frequency of the abuse, the availability of family and community support, and the child's resilience. At Jonathan's Place, we offer a variety of programs and supportive services to children and youth referred from 19 DFW counties.
Emergency Shelter
The Emergency Shelter provides residential care and specialized services to newborns and children up to 18 years old. Children can stay in the Emergency Shelter for up to 90 days while Case Managers and the Program Management Team work diligently to assist Child Protective Services with finding permanent living arrangements that match the needs of each child. While in the shelter, the children have a warm bed, three square meals a day and access to medical, dental and developmental assessments.
Girls Residential Therapeutic Program
The Girls Residential Therapeutic program provides a stable, long-term home for girls aged 10-18. The girls live in a twenty-four-hour therapeutic home environment with structured supervision and intensive support services.
Transitional Living Program
The Transitional Living Program (TLP) is for young women aging out of foster care. The program includes provisions for safe housing and services to provide for mental and physical health, education, and improved well-being. Residents in the TLP are taught self-sufficiency through hands-on learning emphasizing the development of educational, vocational, financial, domestic, and personal safety skills
Foster Care & Adoption Program
Through this program, we recruit, train and support foster and foster-to-adopt families. Our Foster Care and Adoption program exceeds the State's minimum requirements for becoming a licensed foster and adoptive home.
Safe Place Program
Jonathan's Place facilitates a runaway prevention and education program for youth in the Dallas area. Through this program, we provide a 24-hour crisis hotline and emergency counseling services for runaway or homeless youth.
Restoring and Educating Survivors to Empowerment & Transformation. The new RESET program cares for survivors of child sex trafficking by providing an emergency shelter and long term therapeutic foster home opportunities throughout the community.
