Psychiatric Residential Treatment

We offer a residential mental health treatment program for adolescent females ages 12-17 diagnosed with a mental illness and who may have been experienced in human trafficking.

Although our children have been through exceptionally challenging circumstances, they are survivors. They are more than just a number and statistic, they are resilient warriors.

Each child who goes through our residential program brings their own set of strengths, stories, and skills. It’s not only our purpose to provide the children we serve with a safe place to heal and thrive, it’s our mission.

PROGRAM BENEFITS

Crisis Stabilization Program

Crisis stabilization provides short-term stabilization and assessment services to youth experiencing crisis, and in need of immediate placement. These children are typically involved in the child welfare system, have few natural supports and are without a place to live.
