Many of these students have had a hard time in other placements or have been in and out of hospitals. Our goal is to help break that cycle and find what works for each child.
We offer a safe place where students can stabilize and receive a full evaluation from a team of professionals. Each student is different, so we create a personalized plan based on their unique needs and strengths. With small classes, more staff support, and fewer students per clinician, were able to give each child the attention they need.
After the evaluation, we make a plan for whats nextthis could mean moving to a less-restrictive program, returning home, or continuing care at Brookside if more support is still needed.
At Hillcrest, were focused on helping each student make real progress and find a stable, long-term path forward.
