This provider has supported children to young adults for over 100 years, serving those with mental health challenges, trauma histories, and co-occurring needs through residential and transitional care. The nonprofit accepts referrals from state agencies and supports youth with diagnoses that impact behavior, emotional regulation, and social functioning across residential, transitional, and in-home settings.
Clinicians build individualized care plans that include therapy, life skills, and academic support. Residents engage in one-on-one, group, and family therapy, along with psychiatric services and behavior-focused counseling. Staff integrate spiritual guidance, equine therapy, and recreational programming to help youth build coping skills and develop stability in daily routines and relationships.
Children live on a 160-acre campus with gender-based dorms, access to a school on-site, and space for animals, sports, and gardening. The program includes structured daily schedules, shared bedrooms, and group dining. Kids participate in outdoor activities, animal-assisted sessions, and seasonal events.
