students to Penikese?
Most of Penikese’s referrals come from state social services, although an increasing number are private pay, or placed by their families. Referral interest can originate from almost anywhere and anybody: parents, teachers and administrators from public schools, educational consultants, clinicians, agency case workers, and/or juvenile court officials. Penikese always open to listening, brainstorming and consulting with anybody calling with concern for a struggling youth, but referrals for island placement are not officially considered until a funding source has been identified and has approved the placement.
