Forensic Program
The Forensic Track meets the needs of adolescent males ages 13-17 that have been referred by the judicial system and/or community agencies and is in need of fitness to stand trial restoration or is deemed at risk for developing legal issues due to chronic externalizing behaviors. Most adolescents have had previous treatment failures including outpatient and/or psychiatric hospitalization. The program provides comprehensive assessment, treatment; education and follow up to help adolescents and their family/caregivers effectively cope and grow. Treatment is coordinated by a multi-disciplinary team that works consistently with the adolescent, family/caregivers, and referral source from admission through discharge and afterwards.
It is fundamental to our program that the adolescents we serve are not viewed as the sum of their challenges and deficits. The program identifies strengths and assets in all areas of an adolescent’s life as well as works to have them and their family/caregivers capitalize on them.
