About The CANEI Program

"We will never give up on a child until they succeed."

The National Youth Advocate Program’s CANEI Program is a 26-week, strength-based, in-home treatment program that teaches youth how to live in and respect the community they call home and to  develop compassion and empathy  for the people close to them and for others.

Through intensive, home-based services, group-based  sessions and a multi-dimensional approach, CANEI youth transform themselves by cultivating a sense of self, purpose and responsibility.  They positively reconnect with others and live productively and respectfully in their community.

The mission of CANEI is to:

• Teach youth how to live respectfully and productively in the community they call home.
• Prevent out-of-home placement and preserve and strengthen families.
• If placed out of the home, the goal is to reunify youth with their family of origin or develop an alternative permanent living arrangement as soon as it is appropriate to do so.
• Successfully transition and integrate youth into the community as positive and productive members.
