Our Mission Statement is to challenge and motivate all clients to attain their full potential
The Watts Home for Youth is a safe and supportive transitional, carefully designed to empower each resident with the critical life skills needed to thrive independently in today’s world. Our mission goes beyond providing shelter; we offer a comprehensive program that nurtures personal growth and prepares each individual for long-term personal and professional success.
Upon completing our curriculum, clients will be fully equipped with a wide range of essential life skills, ensuring they are prepared for the demands of everyday life. These include but are not limited to vocational and educational training to help them secure meaningful employment, financial literacy and budgeting skills to manage their finances responsibly, and practical problem-solving strategies to handle life’s challenges. In addition, we focus on vital time management techniques and transportation skills so clients can navigate their personal and professional responsibilities efficiently.
The curriculum is intentionally designed to foster gradual reintegration into society, offering a holistic approach that builds confidence, independence, and capability in all areas of life. Through structured support, each client will develop the tools needed to transition seamlessly back into the community with a renewed sense of purpose and direction.
A key component of our program is addressing the mental and emotional well-being of our clients. To this end, we offer therapeutic modalities that provide each individual with the tools necessary to maintain a baseline of mental health. Our mental health services include tailored support in anger management, emotional intelligence training, and evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These modalities equip our clients with strategies to manage emotions effectively, improve interpersonal relationships, and build resilience in the face of adversity.
At the Watts Home for Youth, we believe in not only providing a foundation but also helping to build a future. Through our structured curriculum and dedicated mental health support, each resident is allowed to rebuild their life and emerge stronger, more capable, and fully prepared for the road ahead.
