J. SEM INC. Services provides services in standard group care with a strong emphasis on service for high risk youth and large sibling groups: Placements for siblings in one home will ensure the family connectives and we have several houses designed to provide a home for siblings.
We believe in the importance of skilled and therapeutic intervention to stabilize behaviour; enhance the self-worth and dignity of each individual; and to promote healing of childhood neglect, abuse and trauma by using holistic values.
Our guiding principles is to involve a non-institutional holistic approach of joining family values, concrete treatment modalities with unconditional acceptance and guidance in family style-based setting.
