Board of Directors: As a private, not-for-profit, registered charitable agency, Regesh Family and Child Services has a lay Board of Directors consisting of committed professionals within the community.  The Board of Directors oversee the running of the Agency and delegates daily operations to the Executive Director. History: Regesh Family and Child Services is distinguished for its treatment of children, youth and families.  Originating in 1983 in Calgary, Alberta, Regesh began as a residential treatment facility for teens requiring residential assessment and short-term treatment before either going into a long-term treatment facility or returning home with after-care services.  By 1985, Regesh was also providing extensive after- care services and a Family Support Program geared to working with difficult youth and dysfunctional families from the community. In the summer of 1986 Regesh moved its home office to Toronto, Ontario with the opening of a staff- modeled residential treatment group home for troubled pre-teens.  In 1987 the Alberta branch was closed as the Ontario programs continued to grow.  By 1987 a second pre-adolescent long-term residential staff- modeled group home was opened followed by a third in 1989.  The Regesh treatment Professional Parent Program was designed and implemented in 1990.  This unique community based foster treatment program was designed for those children graduating from our residential care Program but were unable to return to their natural parents, foster care or adoptive family.  In this Program, Regesh recruited and trained treatment foster families to continue the quality care provided by the residential program while the child was within a parent model home.  In 1993, Regesh began a joint venture with Jewish Family and Child Services in Toronto by opening its Mixed Modality (JIMM) Program.  This Program was designed to provide intensive residential treatment within a small (4-beds) mixed modality framework.  The Program was developed to provide a residential treatment modality for youth who did not need the intensity of a group home setting but required more treatment than the usual foster care home. Historically, Regesh has provided quality residential treatment facilities in the form of treatment group homes, treatment foster care and mixed modality treatment homes for children and youth between the ages of five to eighteen.  Youngsters admitted to any one of the Agency programs have included those children whose behavioural problems and/or family dysfunction and/or history of abuse required out of home intervention.  Until 2005, referrals to a Regesh Program were made from various Children's Aid Societies.  These children usually came from one of three previous placements:  a) institutional or other group home residences when the child was ready to graduate to a community treatment program; b) youngsters who had been in a foster placement but required a more treatment oriented program, and c) children living at home who needed out of home treatment.  In response to the changing times and needs for residential care, the Board of Directors decided that Regesh would better meet the needs of the community by making a meaningful transition of services.  Thus, in late 2004 Regesh changed its focus from residential care to out-patient care for children, youth and families.  The Family Support Program, which had started in late 2003, was enriched with more services to provide timely care to families and youth in crisis.  Likewise, in early 2005 the High On Success Mentor Program was initiated to provide specialized services for at-risk youth ages 16 – 24 who were either out of school or at risk of dropping out of school - and/or not working - who wanted to enrich their social life skills, enhance education or learn employability skills. Regesh Family and Child Services continues to identify treatment needs within the community and grows its programs to meet these needs.  The Regesh Anger Management Clinic and Reconnecting Youth Programs are examples of these needs being met by Regesh.
