Highlights: April Site Visits

Highlights from my April Site Visits (not in order):

Excelsior Youth Center, Colorado

They offer a wonderful culinary arts program as well as cosmetology school for the residents.

AIM HOUSE: The Factory, Colorado

AIM House offers clients the opportunity to be creative at "The Factory". From making crafts to recording Pod Casts. This program is truly innovative.

The Factory, Recording Studio

Insight Intensive, Colorado

Insight Intensive offers a great alternative to wilderness in the most serene setting! Mountains, horses, dogs, chickens, and hot springs!!

Living Well Transitions, Colorado

The picture does not do the program justice. The office space is home to a group of thoughtful and very experienced clinicians and social workers. Located in the heart of Boulder, this program offers structure and support while maintaining a clients sense of autonomy.

New Vision Wilderness, Wisconsin

New Vision is unlike any wilderness or treatment program I have visited. Experienced clinicians work with the clients by utilizing "Brain Mapping", a trauma focused, evidenced based approach to therapy.

Northwest Passage, Wisconsin

Northwest offers a great opportunity for residents to take part in a photography program, "In A New Light". Check out their site, the photos are beautiful! http://www.inanewlight.org/. Additionally, they offer outstanding assessments for very complex adolescents.

Rogers Memorial, Wisconsin

Rogers Memorial offers a comprehensive program including an Inpatient Eating Disorder, Anxiety, OCD program as well as Outpatient Services. The team was experienced, professional, and warm. I am looking forward to the opening of the new Young Adult Anxiety home, June 2014.
