Short Term Placement

Most short-term programs last 8-12 weeks. Length of stay depends on your child's needs and your goals. Often, a short-term placement is used to gain a rich diagnostic picture that isn't possible in an outpatient setting.

While your child is in a short-term program, we typically speak with his/her treatment team - and with you - at least weekly to ensure that treatment is going as planned and to guide, coach, and advocate for you as needed.

Long Term Placement

We can help you understand the shortcomings and benefits of the variety of long-term programs. We often hear parents say "they all look great and they all look the same," which is of course not true.

While your child is enrolled in a long-term care environment our role is to be an overarching presence as we stay informed and involved in your child’s care. Click below to learn more about the various types of long-term options.

Traditional Boarding Schools

There are a wide range of traditional boarding school options available for families wanting to explore this as an academic path for their elementary, middle school or high school children. Traditional boarding schools offer students a chance to spread their wings, find their tribe, and learn more about themselves and the world. Boarding schools can vary widely in terms of school culture, academic rigor, extra curriculars, athletic opportunities, learning/emotional support, etc. and we can help guide you and your family to the right fit for your child!
