The Alcove Youth Shelter was founded in 1979 to serve as
an emergency shelter for runaway and homeless youth.
Currently, The Alcove serves not only runaway and
homeless youth but youth that are in the custody of the
state (Department of Family and Children Services or
Department of Juvenile Justice).
The Alcove operates using a therapeutic milieu, which
means that all aspects of placement at The Alcove are
considered to be therapeutic, beginning from the first
introduction, chores, recreational activities, group, family,
and individual counseling as well as shelter policy and
procedures.
The focus of The Alcove is to provide preventative and
solution focused care. The Solution Focused approach
places an emphasis on a client’s strengths.
The Alcove, Inc. provides care to male and female youth
ages 10 to 18 years of age. The children we serve have Mild
to Moderate and/or occassional serious emotional and/or
behavioral management problems that interfere with their
ability to function. Our residents come to us in three ways
Parental, Department of Family and Children Services, and
Department of Juvenile Justice.
Residential services are designed to provide a structure
and supportive setting in which the assessment, treatment
and safety needs of the child are met. Admissions are
accepted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are “committed
to being the regional leader by-example of demand-driven
progressive services to strengthen and protect youth and
families.” We are a private non-profit agency committed to
serving and enriching family life.
The Alcove provides individual, group and family support
services. We strive to build self-esteem, independence,
positive outlook and the ability to make responsible
decisions. We are dedicated to giving children and families
the chance they deserve.
We believe that by providing a resource for teens and
families facing the stress of everyday life we will in turn
help strengthen the communities we serve. Stronger
families equals a stronger community.
The Alcove is operated by a board of directors and is
licensed by the Georgia Department of Human Resources.
The Alcove, Inc. is a member agency of The United Way,
The Child Welfare League of America, Southeastern
Network of Youth and Family Services, Georgia Association
of Homes and Services for Children and the Georgia
Emergency Shelter Network.
