What is This program?

Edgewood’s Residential Treatment Program provides behavioral stabilization and permanency services to youth ages 12-17. The focus of treatment is to engage youth and families to build skills to manage challenging behaviors, restore permanent family connections, and strengthen community ties through a continuum of interventions provided by Edgewood and its partners.
