Program Overview

Our Youth Crisis Residence is a 24/7 supervised program designed to stabilize psychiatric crisis symptoms and restore a child's level of functioning. We understand that a crisis impacts the whole family, so our approach is deeply child-centered and family-focused. Rather than a long-term stay, this is a bridge to stability, providing intensive treatment and coordination with community-based supports to prevent future crises and help your child thrive back in their everyday life.
