Psychosocial/Psychosexual Assessment

Upon admission, all youth receive a detailed and individual comprehensive assessment of strengths and needs, which includes a detailed developmental, social, and family history, and a review of the life experiences and challenges, including adverse and traumatic childhood experiences that each youth may have experienced in his development and that can help explain current circumstances. As part of the initial comprehensive psychosocial assessment, all youth receive an assessment of risk for continued behavioral problems, and risk is re-evaluated periodically throughout treatment, at six monthly (or more) intervals, including risk for both continued problem or abusive sexual behavior and risk for continued non-sexual behavioral difficulty.
