Established in 1975, Stepping Stones, Inc. is a fully licensed child welfare and behavioral health provider with over forty-six years’ experience in working with West Virginia’s troubled and troubling youth and their families. The therapeutic milieu is family centered and youth focused and provides youth with an opportunity to enhance cognitive competence, internalize coping skills and develop an “I Can” attitude. Through restructuring, re education and reintegration, Stepping Stones seeks to strengthen the youth’s relationship with family and community. The Program firmly believes that discovering and uncovering the connectedness of the youth and his family with the community is paramount in treatment delivery.
Overarching all of Stepping Stones programs is a trauma informed, ecological and a strengths-based approach that focuses on resiliency and connectedness. The Program’s safe, nurturing, and creative learning environments challenges each youth to optimize his potential spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Respect for self, respect for others and accepting responsibility for personal actions are emphasized throughout programs.
