What is the difference between the Children’s Home of Wyoming Conference and Stillwater RTF?
The Children’s Home of Wyoming Conference is licensed by NYS Office of Children and Family Services and Stillwater RTF is licensed by NYS Office of Mental Health. Children come into both agencies requiring assistance with behavioral and emotional problems. Children entering Stillwater RTF are approved by a state level committee under the supervision of a licensed psychiatrist, to receive intense mental health and psychiatric services. In New York State, an RTF is considered a sub-class of a psychiatric hospital providing services to the under 21 years of age population who have severe and persistent psychiatric problems.
