Who We Treat

Find Out if New Haven is Right for You

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.

Changing Your Core Beliefs

New Haven did not save my life (although that would have a better ring to it), but instead, gave me the tools to save my own life. I really have been changed for good.

quote 1

It was not an instant revelation that made me realize that I could not continue living the life I had at the time. Righting the course happened over the months I have been in Utah. It happened when I became aware that I had become a shell of my former self and that I had become overwhelmingly self-absorbed. I started to reach out to others and to develop real insight.
