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.

Set on 26 quiet acres in rural Massachusetts, this nonprofit program helps adolescent boys ages 11-22 recover from trauma, emotional struggles, and high-risk behaviors. Through residential treatment, short-term assessments, and group homes, youth receive the structure, safety, and education they need to heal, rebuild trust, and develop the skills to succeed at home, in school, and in life. Clinicians use a trauma-informed attachment, regulation, and competency (ARC) model that blends cognitive behavioral therapy with individual, family, and group counseling. Youth work on self-regulation, empathy, anger management, and social skills through specialized groups and therapeutic activities. Comprehensive assessments guide each treatment plan and include evaluations in clinical, medical, educational, and behavioral areas. Academic support is provided in a structured school setting with Individualized Education Program (IEP)-aligned instruction. Youth live in staff-secure cottages with 24-hour supervision and individual bedrooms. The campus features athletic fields, courts, a gym, a pond, and walking trails. Daily routines include healthy meals, recreation, and skill-building activities like music, art, culinary training, and woodshop. A registered nurse and psychiatrist oversee medical and psychiatric care, while the team supports family involvement and smooth reintegration into the community.
