“Thank
you for all your patience and
support in dealing with my family.”
The
Janus Center
assists youth facing serious problems with their families, schools or the
juvenile court. Our mobile intervention team supports the program’s Safe
Place network, responds to the 24-hour Youth In Crisis Hotline, and provides
counseling and referrals to necessary services. If a youth cannot return home
and is not under state care, Janus House Center provides short-term respite
care. This past year we responded to
close to 350 referrals and provided
32 youth with
host home care.
The Janus
Center primarily serves
Greater Bridgeport youth, ages 11-17, who are homeless or at risk of becoming
homeless and are not under the supervision of the CT Department of Children and
Families (DCF).
Janus
Center offers a multitude of
vital services to youth:
24-hour Mobile Crisis Intervention
Short-Term Counseling
Individual and Family Needs
Assessment
Family Mediation
Tangible Assistance
Host Home Placement
Referral Services
Educational Assistance

The Bigelow Computer

STORY THANK YOU NOTE:
Dear Rev. Jonathan:
First off, thank you for taking
time out of your morning today
to spend it with us for C's
meeting. You really have
been a godsend and the Janus
house and RObert have been just
what C has needed to hopefully
get on the road to recovery.
What follows is a list of the
house rules that we had
discussed with you this morning
so you can go over them with C
prior to him coming home on
Friday.
Thank you again for your time
and help for C. We do not
know what we would have done
without the compassion and care
you have shown both C and
ourselves in dealing with this
difficult matter.
God Bless you, Christine
