Mingus Mountain Youth Treatment Center

Mingus Mountain Youth Treatment Center is a residential treatment center for emotionally and behaviorally at-risk adolescent girls that helps them achieve a positive, healthy future. Our program combines a trauma-informed organizational framework, caring staff, careful medical treatment, individualized psychotherapy and education, and numerous activities, including our unique equestrian program. Because many of the students who come to us have experienced significant trauma, our treatment team is specially trained to address these issues within a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. An emphasis on family therapy fosters successful reunification with families. In addition, three therapeutic group homes give students the opportunity to re-enter society, living in nearby communities and getting part time jobs if they wish, while continuing their treatment and education on campus.
