Supporting youth with compassionate, healing treatment.

For communities to prosper, all children must have the opportunity to develop healthy brains. We support youth in their development by providing compassionate treatment for those who are experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, the impacts of childhood trauma, and other behavioral and/or mental health challenges. Through our residential treatment program and day treatment services, youth receive therapeutically enriched educational services, coping skills, and emotion regulation techniques that help them develop healthy interactions and behaviors.
