The Program is designed to assist children and adolescents in developing skills and techniques for behavioral self-control, which enable them to function within the community. A critical element of treatment is the building of positive relationships. Treatment services are designed to foster ego building and the development of effective coping strategies that promote self-reliance, personal responsibility, trust and problem-solving skills.
The PRTF is based on the belief that each individual resident has a unique set of needs. We believe that each individual possesses talents, strengths, and resources that, when accessed, enables growth and an opportunity to realize his/her full potential. Our goal is to ensure that appropriate treatment, specific to the individual’s needs, is delivered in a secure setting which promotes the development of basic life skills and positive relationships. Through the facilitation of flexible treatment interventions in a well-structured milieu, residents are encouraged to develop behaviors that enable them to be accepted and productive members of society.
