Service Spotlight: Residential Intervention Services

Learn More About Our Residential Intervention Services

Our Residential Intervention Services help up to 34 guests at a time, assisting them with every area of their lives. Specifically, our services allow children ages 5-17 with traumatic backgrounds to explore alternative and safe behaviors. By treating the whole child in each area of their life, we hope to significantly reduce future problematic behaviors while allowing them to transition successfully into the community. Length of stay averages from 5 to 30 days, however longer term care options are available.

What happens when a guest comes to campus?

When a guest arrives at our campus, they’ll meet with one of our professional staff members who will give them a tour. Firstly, they head to our Welcome Center! Secondly, they’ll get to pick out toys, books, clothes, and more for their stay. From there, they meet one of our excellent nurses for a checkup. We’ll do an inventory of their personal items to make sure everything is kept safe during their stay. Next, we’ll take them to their room! We’ll make sure to introduce them to the rest of the staff they’ll see regularly. Finally, they see the rest of the campus, including the recreation center and the playground outside. At the beginning of their stay, they’ll get to have their first session with one of our caring therapists.
