Walden provided services to 478 unique clients in 2011. false false 4689944 5206577 FOSTER CARE PLACEMENTS:Therapeutic foster care is an alternative to institutionalization for children. The children in Walden's care have severe emotional and behavioral challenges as a result of past abuse and are in need of intensive services to help them heal and remain in a family environment. Many of the children have suffered the trauma of multiple foster families or group home placements before coming to Walden. With Walden's specially trained foster families and support services, children that otherwise would be in a group home are able to live with a family. Walden is a cost-effective alternative to group home care that allows children to grow into healthy adult members of the community.Special Health Care Needs: Walden's Special Health Care Needs (SHCN) program is designed to move medically fragile children out of skilled nursing facilities and hospitals into highly skilled and specifically trained certified foster families. This program also cares for children with technology-dependent conditions such as apnea monitors, nebulizers, oxygen, feeding tubes and other adaptive equipment. Other children in the program may include drug-exposed infants, juvenile diabetics, failure to thrive infants, premature infants, or children with other life threatening medical conditions. This unique program includes intensive training and support for foster parents willing to care for a child with special health care needs.Developmental Disabilities Program: Walden Family Services serves the needs of foster children and teens with developmental disabilities and behavioral challenges. Developmental disabilities include mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism and other similar challenges. The goal of this program is to prevent institutionalization, prepare children and teens for maximum independence and enrich lives by participation in a full range of normal life experiences in family and community settings.Foster Care for Pregnant and Parenting Teens: Walden provides support and training to pre and post emancipated pregnant and parenting teens through this program. Services include support with the court process, parenting training, budgeting assistance and referrals to community resources.

It is a grant and philanthropy funded program which serves over 150 pre and post emancipated foster youth.Walden believes that many transition age youth are eager to take control of their own destinies, but don't have the means and/or skills to do so. For that and many other imperative reasons, Walden is committed to responding to the realities that all foster youth face as they transition to adulthood. Walden gives particular attention to the challenges that youth face as they leave foster care. Independent Futures seeks to help adolescents and youth adults develop concrete and abstract life skills that are necessary to live as healthy, self-sufficient, responsible and productive adults. This is accomplished by providing the young adult with strengths-based and youth adult driven case management as well as a safe and supportive setting that facilities opportunities for age-appropriate mistakes and accountability. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Apple Valley After Care: Walden's Aftercare program is a supportive service that assists former foster youth with overcoming the challenges they may face when leaving foster care. We believe former foster youth have what it takes to succeed and support them in common areas that former foster youth often struggle such as, daily life skills, medical, dental and emotional health, mentoring, educational assistance, employment assistance, housing assistance and permanent connection support.
