Midland Community Foundation Provides Funding for Intervention Services at Eagle Village
Hersey, MI (PRWEB) July 16, 2013 -- The intervention services available with these funds will provide opportunities for families and teenagers in Michigan to secure help at Eagle Village. Life-changing services available include:
• Family Challenge Weekends where parents and youth attend together, learning new skills and insight into their relationships. Families identify issues, learn to communicate, set limits and goals and develop conflict resolution strategies.
• Youth Challenge Weekends confront behavior patterns that create disturbances in the family or community. Teens attend with peers and discover a sense of purpose and self-esteem. They are empowered to take on new behaviors that are positive for self, family and community and learn to be accountable and responsible for their own actions.
• Summer Camps for at-risk youth will challenge, excite and encourage pre-teens and teens that push back against authority, struggle behaviorally or are challenged to control their anger.
• Changing Lanes Intervention Program- Designed as a “wake-up call” for troubled teenagers, Changing Lanes provides the opportunity and tools to learn new ways to make healthier choices by examining their old behaviors. They learn new communication skills, anger management and life-skills training.
Sharon Mortensen from the Midland Foundation said, "Midland Area Community Foundation is dedicated to supporting donors in their giving interests. The Eagle Village Endowment Fund is an excellent example of donors wanting to invest their money locally to support an organization in which they strongly believe. MACF is pleased to support the work that Eagle Village does to change the lives of children and their families."
Eagle Village provides Intervention Services, Residential Treatment, Foster Care and Adoption services for all counties in Michigan. If you know of a family in crisis that may benefit from these programs, contact Eagle Village at 231-832-2234.
