Our goal is to restore childhood to the child. KidsPeace National Centers for Kids in Crisis has locations throughout the eastern United States, serving kids from across the country. Goals are based on the holistic philosophy that each girl will become all she is capable of being through an enriched and challenging environment. Staff set high standards maintained by enforcing consistent rules while rewarding self responsibility and appropriate target behaviors. With success and accomplishments self confidence is gained and positive self identity is established.
Activities support the quest in a therapeutic milieu.
Education is provided at the highly respected Mingus Mountain Academy. A conservation world program, house chores, and ranch management promote responsibility and family life. Many come to Provo Canyon for initial intervention or for treatment on an extended-care basis following discharge from psychiatric or addictive disorder programs. Our clients ranging in age from eleven to eighteen years typically experience emotional adjustment reactions to childhood or adolescence, severely disruptive behaviors, hyperactivity, depression, or problems with alcohol and other drugs. All therapists, teachers, and counselors are supervised by highly-skilled professionals.
