Focus

At this center, you receive personalized care for mental health conditions. They provide therapy and tailor treatment to your unique needs, diagnoses, and preferences.

Ottilie Residential Treatment Facility is a 24-hour program in Queens that serves children, adolescents, and young adults ages 10 to 21 with serious emotional disturbances and developmental delays. It provides the most intensive residential mental health care available outside of a hospital. The center emphasizes family connections and trauma-sensitive treatment to prepare youth for successful community reintegration. The facility uses a highly structured, therapeutic approach that includes mental health services, emotional and behavioral supports, medical care, and skill-building programs. Residents attend the onsite Theresa Paplin School, a special education program tailored for their unique needs. This combination helps youth gain stability, coping skills, and readiness for independent living. Residents live on a six-acre campus designed to foster safety and growth. The program offers a supportive environment with 24-hour care, focusing on empowerment and skill development such as job readiness and independent living. This structured yet compassionate setting helps young people build confidence and prepare for life beyond treatment.
