Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center is featured in several leading online resources that are consulted by professionals, patients and families evaluating their treatment options.

In 1997, 16-year-old Jason Flatt unfortunately took his own life.  What came out of that tragedy was a nationwide effort to raise awareness and provide programs that could end the “Silent Epidemic” of youth suicide.

About The Jason Foundation

The Jason Foundation, Inc. (JFI) was founded by Jason’s father, Clark Flatt, and has been providing the resources and services needed to identify and help youth who are at-risk for this ever-present problem.

Headquartered in Hendersonville, Tennessee, JFI aims to help communities across the country become more familiar with the warning signs of suicide, and prepares community members by offering the trainings and materials needed to help young people.

“I stepped down from Timberline Knolls’ Residential program to their PHP with supportive housing.  PHP helped me be able to have long term recovery. Going into a grocery store and make meals with support was helpful. Also, being accountable with acting out on urges, I learned to ask for support.  With anxiety/ panic and going out in the world I learned how to navigate and how to move through a panic attack and not retreat to old behaviors.  Living in the supportive housing was a key factor to me recovery because I was supported by others and staff throughout the night. I would not have made it through the last 6 years of recovery without PHP relapsing and giving me tools and it really made a difference. I hope you take the opportunity to go to PHP at Timberline knolls after completing their residential program.
