How are most adolescents referred?
Our referrals come from a variety of sources. Sometimes parents are concerned about their child, so they contact us directly. In addition, we often get referrals from case workers, probation officers, and other supportive agencies in the child’s life. Most of our residents come directly from an acute stay at a psychiatric hospital because they need extra time to learn the necessary skills and to address their issues before going back to a less restrictive environment.
