Operating under a Restorative Justice framework, the facility aims to address all concerns of residents, to assist victims of violence and trauma, to bring communities together, and provide youth with social skills, life skills, substance abuse treatment and programs, and uses many resources to do so. This secure and safe facility focuses on the whole student, keeping up with schoolwork and classes while also treating all medical needs, mental health concerns, and any addictions or problematic thinking processes.
