Age-Appropriate Programming

To ensure that each person receives the focused, age-appropriate programming that best addresses their needs, our residential services are provided in six lodges.

The lodge format provides a safe and supportive environment where women and girls can receive care alongside others within the same age group who have been experiencing similar challenges. Our lodges also promote the development of positive peer groups, which help our residents learn how to establish healthy interpersonal relationships and begin to trust others for friendship and support.

The typical length of stay in our residential program for adult women is about 33 days, while the typical length of stay for adolescent girls is about 40 days.

TK Academy

To ensure that adolescent girls can make appropriate academic progress during their time in our residential program, our on-site TK Academy provides educational support services.

TK Academy is staffed by certified teachers who are specialists in English, math, science, and social studies. Our teachers have experience working with students of all learning levels from middle school through high school. These compassionate professionals are prepared to help young people who have been experiencing concerns such as school anxiety, school refusal, disorganization, and perfectionism.

Students remain enrolled in their home school districts while they’re in our residential program. The TK Academy staff collaborates with representatives from these districts, students’ parents or guardians, and our therapeutic teams to ensure that each girl receives superior, personalized educational services in a manner that reflects and supports her continued recovery.
