Children's Home of Stockton

The Children’s Home of Stockton (CHS) was established in 1882, originally created by a small group of ladies who formed the Ladies Aide Society of Stockton for the purpose of rendering charitable services to the City of Stockton. They recognized the need for a children’s shelter that provided services for dependent and neglected children and so they opened CHS as an orphanage. Today, CHS is one of the largest social services organizations in Stockton, and the only licensed Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program STRTP in San Joaquin County, that has been serving at-risk youth in San Joaquin County and throughout California for 140 years. CHS also offers an on-campus one.Vision alternative education program for our residential students which is operated through the San Joaquin County Office of Education. Each year, the Children’s Home of Stockton provides approximately 140 adolescents with comprehensive educational and therapeutic services. Our goal is to create an environment that mentors civility, expects responsibility, and promotes kindness.

Students will be responsible for providing engagement activities with clients placed at CHS. Students will learn assessment processes and will be able to conduct initial placement and ongoing assessments of clients. Students will have a caseload of 3 to 5 clients that they will be expected to engage with on a weekly basis. Students will learn to facilitate Child and Family Team meetings and will be expected to document these meetings. Students will be expected to work their way up to meeting a 55% productivity standard and finalize documentation timely.
