"Informational" sites created to solicit referrals to a particular program or group of programs (including affiliate and referral sites disguised as informational sites) will not be listed.

Community-based Programs

Directories

Directories of treatment options for children and teenagers with mental illness, behavioral difficulties, or substance abuse problems, including residential facilities, schools, outdoor programs.

Residential Treatment

Find links to sites for or about residential treatment facilities specializing in treatment of young people with emotional and behavioral health difficulties. Institutions listed in this category focus on treatment as their primary function. If academics are offered (they typically are required if school-age youth are enrolled), they are secondary to the principal emphasis on treatment.

Read the category description to determine whether this is the right place for your site.

Note that institutions that have academics a a core function, along with a significant therapeutic component, should be submitted to Therapeutic_Schools.

Therapeutic Schools

The "Therapeutic Schools" category focuses on schools which assist young people with emotional and behavioral health difficulties. These schools serve students with a history of failing to function at home or in less structured schools in terms of academic, social, moral, or emotional development. Institutions listed in this category have academics as one of their core functions, along with a significant therapeutic component.

Read the category description to determine whether this is the right place for your site. Note that residential treatment centers, where academics are not offered or are secondary to the principal emphasis on treatment, will not be listed here and should be submitted to Health/Mental_Health/Child_and_Adolescent/Treatment/Programs_and_Services/Residential_Treatment instead.
