Where Are the Kids?

There are residential treatment facilities and programs for children all over the world. These are places where minors live away from their homes, generally for 30 days or more, and participate in psychotherapy, behavior modification, and/or faith-based mental health treatment. A wide range of facilities are listed here, including wilderness therapy programs, youth ranches, therapeutic group homes, emotional growth boarding schools, rehabs, boot camps, maternity homes, psychiatric hospitals, military academies, and more. We believe that community oversight plays a critical role in both preventing abuse and holding bad actors accountable. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with programs near you so that you can educate yourself on their conditions and advocate for the children inside them.
