The center offers residential treatment for children and teens ages 5-17 experiencing trauma, behavioral issues, or co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges. Located in the Tennessee mountains, the academy supports youth through short- and long-term care, including specialized programs for military-affiliated children and those with developmental or educational needs.

Reclaim Hope, One Session at a Time

Care is trauma-informed and based on cognitive behavioral therapy. Youth receive individual and family therapy, group counseling, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, neurofeedback for brain regulation, and creative therapies like art, music, and drama. Education includes individualized education programs (IEPs) and response to intervention (RTI) for personalized learning and behavioral support.

Grow with Structure and Care

Students live in a structured, secure setting with 24/7 medical and nursing care. Daily life includes classroom learning, vocational training, social skills groups, recreation therapy, yoga, and community outings. On-campus events and animal care activities help build connection, confidence, and a strong foundation for lasting growth.
