VRPă is a family-centered and strength-based intervention that combines the structure of residential programs with the benefits of in-home efficacy. Utilizing a mix of theoretical perspectives and therapies, VRPă targets multiple-determinates of problems faced by the youth and their families. VRPă provides families, schools, and communities with a diversion alternative to unnecessary out-of-home placements and/or to expedite successful step-down of youth following residential or psychiatric placements.
