Employee DiversityEmployee DiversityEmployee Diversity

It’s about being inspired and motivated to achieve extraordinary things. We want our

employees to take pride in their work and in maintaining a safe and secure environment.

After all, it's the combined talents, skills, knowledge and expertise of every one of our

employees that makes us who we are.

The inclusion of all employees makes our teams more effective, enhances communication

among people of different backgrounds and experiences, and creates an atmosphere that

benefits from the talents and capabilities of our diverse workforce. Inclusion through

recruiting, hiring, developing, training and promoting employees of all genders, races,

religions, ages, sexual orientations and physical abilities is essential to our success.

The result of our desire to be diverse and inclusive creates a company culture that is more

collaborative. Our employees are more enthusiastic about their work because they are

sharing ideas across departments and divisions in inspiring new ways.

At Abraxas, we believe that diversity in our workforce and the inclusion of a variety of

views, perspectives and backgrounds is an integral part of our company’s success. This

unique mixture in the workforce provides unlimited ideas, increases productivity and

innovative solutions for our clients and those we serve.

We believe that work is more than a place you go every day. It’s a place of professional

growth, exploration, creativity and interpersonal relationships.

Firesetters and sexual offenders are offered structured and effective specialty

treatment programs. A compelling body of research suggests that specialized

intervention can deter these early injurious behaviors and establish a more

positive life course.

Substance abuse is treated with drug and alcohol programs that have a

comprehensive approach to chemical dependency treatment. Clients participate

in a variety of therapeutically structured activities including individual, group

and family counseling, clinical study, prevention, life-skills education, recreation,

and volunteering in the local community.

Community-based/outpatient programs provide services that meet the needs of

our juvenile and adult clients in their communities. Services vary by site and

include work readiness training, supervision and monitoring, methadone

maintenance, family reintegration and individual and group counseling.

Education services assist students in addressing behavioral, academic and

attendance issues that prevent them from being successful in a traditional

classroom setting. The goal of this service is to help students develop the skills

necessary to be successfully reintegrated into a mainstream educational

environment.

Residential programs offer specialized treatment options for youth,

adults and families. They promote educational advancement,

community service opportunities, and employment initiatives.

Behavioral health facilities provide a highly structured, yet nurturing

environment to facilitate recovery and personal growth of youth who

suffer from mental and behavioral disorders. Therapeutic and

educational services are provided in accordance with the Child and

Adolescent Service System Program Principles.

Behavioral modification teaches clients to modify their behavior and

cognitive processes associated with offending. Clients are taught to

be accountable for their actions and recognize the consequences for

inappropriate behavior.

Detention/Shelters offer high quality and short-term care including

counseling and educational services to provide stability for youth in

crisis. They focus on short-term development activities.
