Our Treatment Services program offers therapeutic structure and support to teen girls with emotional disorders who have experienced severe trauma. In addition to intensive counseling with our on-site therapeutic team, our program focuses on teaching social skills and relationship building. We aim to help our residents develop positive coping mechanisms so they can heal and grow from their experiences.

*Treatment Services does not accept private placements.

Resident Support

• Serves teen girls, ages 11-17, with significant trauma histories, who would benefit from a structured, less-restrictive therapeutic environment
• Program focuses on intensive counseling, relationship building and social and emotional coping skills
• Treatment Services, Shelter Services, and Adolescent Services often work in collaboration to provide care for our residents and are referred to as our Children's Residential Program

Our Shelter Services Program, housed in Currie Long Cottage, is often the first stop for youth who have been removed from their homes by Child Protective Services. Our focus is on crisis intervention. We offer safety and stability while working to address the basic, immediate needs of each of our residents.

• We accept children and teens, ages 5-18, who have been immediately removed from their homes based on an abuse or neglect allegation

• Preference is given to those ages 11-18, however, when possible, we work to accommodate sibling groups with younger siblings to prevent separations in care

• Placement is available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week based on availability

• Placement preference is given to residents whose county of origin is in the North Texas area (case-by-case exceptions)

• We are one of the only placement options in our 19-county region with the capacity and program design to keep siblings together

• We do not offer private community placement

Shelter Services, Treatment Services, and Adolescent Services often work in collaboration to provide care for our residents and are referred to as our Children's Residential Program.
