Clinical Profile of Our New Haven Student
Our students are smart, and capable, but come to New Haven burdened by months or years of emotional pain or behavioral dysfunction. For these girls, things have stopped working at home, at school, and in life. Many of our students have suffered from one or more emotional issues, such as traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, or substance abuse with little relief, often despite multiple hospitalizations or therapeutic placements. However, our long history of working successfully with complex emotional and psychiatric issues and our commitment to ongoing outcome tracking tell us more than 80% of our graduates never need another residential placement.
Every student who comes to New Haven is part of a family system that is also suffering. Our time-tested Family Healing Program brings support, growth, and change to the entire family.
