Ozanam serves thousands of children and families each year through a variety of programs on campus and throughout the community. Each program was developed in response to one fundamental question that will always remain in the minds of staff members:

What is best for kids? At Ozanam, we know.

Since it began in 1948, Ozanam has grown from a single-program service agency to a multi-program service agency offering the best and most complete care to those who need it most.

Some of Ozanam's programs include the following:

Campus-Based Programs

  1. Our Residential Treatment Program for adolescent males and females ages 12-18 contains 63 beds including 10 beds designated specifically for the treatment of sexual abuse. In addition, Ozanam's campus Group Home for boys ages 14-18 offers 12 beds that are located in a home-like setting
  2. Our Day Treatment Program for adolescent males and females ages 10-18 utilizes Ozanam's fully accredited, on-campus school.

Community-Based Programs

  1. Our Family Focus Program offers a family-intensive model of treatment consisting of up to 90 days of residential care, followed by an in-home aftercare program of up to 180 days.
  2. Pathways Transitional Living Program provides supervised, clustered and scattered-site apartments for more than 100 youths, ages 16-23, with programs in the Kansas City metro area and also Wichita.
  3. B.I.S.T. School Consultation Services (Behavior Intervention Support Team) educates teachers in more than 350 schools in more than 50 school districts throughout the Midwest.
  4. Mentoring Program for youth in foster care.

From the very beginning of its mission, Ozanam's goal has been to help children and families heal and reach their full potential as healthy and productive members of our society.

    Francis's Success

    "You can't change the past," admitted Francis, 17, "But you can change the future."

    That is exactly what he did when he arrived at Ozanam in October 2005 after failing in school, getting arrested at the age of 16, spending time in a juvenile detention center and later a Lawrence group home all within the course of a year.
