Prior to placement, a Referral Package must be submitted for consideration.
This includes:

1. Personal identifying information,
2. The youth’s family background and social history,
3. School information
4. Medical information including handicap and/or limitation on physical ability,
5. Religious information including religious activities,
6. Any criminal and court matters

8. A statement of the youth’s needs while residing at Jen’s Place
9. The youth’s interests, abilities, strengths, limitations and habits,
10. A description of parental and family involvement, visitation and contact.

If the youth meets the criteria, a follow up interview must be arranged. The interview will include:

• A description of the program
• A description of the community
• A general description of the current residents
• A tour of the home
• A question and answer period for the youth, the worker and significant other
• An opportunity to clarify any questions, comments or concerns from the referral package

If the decision is to proceed with the placement, arrangements for pre-placement visits are encouraged.  The purpose of pre-placement visits is to ensure that this placement is a fit for the referred youth.
