Midwest Christian Services has provided a Sexual Offender's Program for boys since 1996, but we have been serving children for over forty years! MCS offers a comprehensive treatment program for boys ages 8-18. Our average treatment duration is 12-18 months. This program utilizes the Pathways Program for treatment of sexual offenders.
Issues that are addressed include offenses that brought the adolsecent into care, breaking the cycle of offending and of possible past abuse, trust issues, anger management, social competence, communication, self-esteem, and values clarification. The youth are directly taught specialized procedures for interrupting and blocking dysfunctional patterns of thinking.
