Family Environment
At CO-OP, we are a family!

 Our family environment has grown as a natural occurrence given
 the individualized nature of our case management approach
 combined with the breadth and depth of our programs and
 initiatives.  Participants in our programs are instilled with a sense of
 belonging and camaraderie.  For many, CO-OP serves a purpose
 above and beyond the services and activities it provides. It is also
 viewed as a source of social and familial support.


We create a family-like structure by focusing on building
supportive relationships based upon common goals and a mutual
respect.

 Primary emphasis is placed upon the level of commitment and
 support program participants provide for one another, the extent to
 which they are encouraged to express themselves in an open and
 productive manner, and by intermingling services and activities that
 extends the amount of spent under the guidance of program staff.


Several structures are in place to ensure that CO-OP remains a
safe and nurturing environment.

 Our facilities have been designed to look more like a home rather
 than an office.  There is an overarching orientation towards
 achievement that encourages participants to be assertive in the
 pursuit of their independence and self-sufficiency while supporting
 the success of their peers.   Character education is integrated
 throughout all of our programs and services and we model an
 appreciation of the social, cultural, and religious diversity that is
 woven throughout our participant population.   


We invite you to become a part of the CO-OP family!
