Individual therapy (CBT/trauma-focused)
Behavioral interventions
Family therapy sessions

Why Psychiatric Care Matters in Residential Treatment

Children in our program experience:

✅ Reduced symptoms (anxiety, outbursts, sleep disturbances)
✅ Improved engagement in therapy and daily activities
✅ Greater stability for long-term healing

Without proper psychiatric care, 60% of children with severe trauma struggle to benefit fully from therapy.
