About Us

The Collier Residential Program, composed of Collier Group Home and Collier House, provides vulnerable young women with a safe environment where they are provided with opportunities that lead to growth, lasting change, and fulfillment. Collier Group Home, located in the heart of Red Bank, serves ten teenage girls ages 14 to 18. Collier House, located in Keyport, is a safe haven for five young women, ages 18 to 21.

All services are built on individual and family strengths and reflect awareness of specific characteristics of each youth--physical, developmental, cultural, spiritual, behavioral, and emotional strengths, needs, preferences, and abilities. The Collier Residential Program supports the integration of our youth into the community by encouraging free unsupervised time as long as they are able to negotiate this independence in a safe manner and helps them develop the skills they need to live healthy, self-sufficient, and productive lives.

The treatment team at Collier provides person-centered care in a supportive environment that includes independent life skills, clinical individual counseling, and group counseling provided by clinical social workers and case managers, in addition to all treatment counselors who assist the youth with any support on a day-to-day basis. Both Collier Group Home and Collier House have social workers who hold an LCSW and case managers who hold a LAC. The treatment team counselors have earned an associate's bachelor's or master's degree in social work, counseling, or related fields and provide supervision 24 hours a day. Collier staff members offer the youth and families a supportive, structured, and encouraging environment, remaining consistent with our goal of person-centered/trauma-informed care.

 

Collier helped me through my storm so I could see the light of my bright future and the strong, independent woman that I've become. They lifted me up when depression and anxiety were weighing heavy on me. I'm very blessed to be a part of this family that I can always call "home."
