create a better future.

Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Programs

The Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Programs serve adolescent young men who have been placed by counties through child and family services and juvenile justice departments. Although youth are placed with Trinity for a variety of circumstances, the behaviors these youth have displayed are typically in response to, and the result of, a history of trauma, abuse, neglect or abandonment. The young men often develop emotional and behavioral challenges. These factors then manifest into behaviors that require intensive, short-term residential treatment in order to mitigate identified mental health issues, change behavioral patterns and increase opportunities for success in family and community settings.
