The Mullen-Polk Foundation Groundbreaking Event

The Mullen-Polk Foundation invites the community to attend a groundbreaking ceremony at the organization’s newest facility, 2805 N.E. 19th St., starting at 3:30 p.m. June 29.

The event is open to the public from 3:30 to 5 p.m., with the groundbreaking ceremony to take place at 4 p.m.

The new facility will house the organization’s second Qualified Residential Treatment Program to support youth and their families. Upon its completion, the principal goal of the new building is to create a safe, nurturing, structured youth residential facility that meets the specialized needs of youth who are placed under Behavioral Rehabilitation Services Placement with a continuum of services focusing on Trauma Informed Care. The private facility will offer a therapeutic environment where adolescents build new hope for the future by gaining responsibility, learning to make healthy choices, and demonstrating self-sufficiency.

Youth at the facility will be equipped with techniques to progress academically, build on their strengths and address their weaknesses, and make choices that support their success. Group and individual meetings, as well as specialized counseling services, support youth through processing grief and anger, cultivating independent and healthy living skills, and finding financial independence. Coordinated aftercare will ensure that youth will be supported to strengthen relationships in life after their time in the program.
