Trauma Informed Care

When you need us, Pomegranate's treatment focus comes from a Trauma-Informed Care model. Our goal is to provide a safe environment in which children, adolescents, and families can recover from trauma and mental illness. Each staff member, as well as each patient are asked to help reach this goal by treating each other with kindness and respect, maintaining a coercion and violence-free enviornment, and practicing the principles of trauma-informed care.

We believe you should be treated with respect and treat others with respect.

We believe we should not hurt one another.

We believe that everyone should try to help each other as best they can.

We will work to resolve our problems to help each other success in life.

We believe everyone who comes here has the inner strength to help them through tough times in their lives.

We believe everyone is able to take advantage of opportunities to grow physically, socially, and emotionally while here at Pomegranate.

We welcome your thoughts on ways to improve your treatment here.

We welcome family and support people that may aid in your ability to grow.

We respect each other's confidentiality.

Pomegranate works with each youth from a 'strength-based' approach. In other words, we believe that no matter what problems an adolescent may be experiencing, he/she does have strengths and things he/she does very well. We recognize those things and try to build on them. We will also try to help you work on those tougher things, as you are willing. We always try to let you know that you are valuable and capable of making the changes necessary to move on with your life.

Pomegranate does not use chemical or mechanical restraints, seclusion.
