What if residential treatment didn’t feel like treatment? What if healing could take place in a safe, nurturing family environment? What if a teen could not only recover credit but also discover that they love learning? What if the most productive therapy took place not only in the therapist’s office but also in natural environments? Two gender-affirming campuses - one for birth-assigned males and one for birth-assigned females - provide all of this through the use of a relational, brain-based learning approach that is proven to heal trauma and effect lasting change, creating an environment where students feel seen, heard, and safe.
