HOPE HILL'S RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAM
Hope Hill is an all female facility that provides a personal and safe therapeutic milieu for young women in crisis. The facility provides a full array of therapeutic services. Three of its four cottages are secure units that are designed to meet the needs of girls with chronic runaway and self endangerment issues. Hope Hill has an on-grounds school with an instructional program featuring individualized curriculum (including GED instruction) designed to meet the unique needs of each student.
Hope Hill provides services for young women with a wide variety of issues and needs. Primarily the facility serves girls with serious histories of sexual abuse and neglect and girls who are chronic runaways. The facility provides specialized individual and group therapy for victims of sexual abuse as well as secure beds for girls with chronic AWOL issues. Individual and group therapy for youth with substance abuse issues is also provided. Hope Hill has a certified Juvenile Sex Offender Counselor on staff and limited bed space available for girls with sexual perpetration issues.
Hope Hill supports family reunification by encouraging families to become involved in the treatment planning process and through individual, group and family therapy. When needed family therapy is offered after hours and on weekends. Hope Hill facilitates regular communication between youth and family members, transports youth to their homes for home visits, and provides for on campus family visitation (including no-cost accommodations for approved visiting family members). The Director of Hope Hill's Residential Programs, pictured at the top of the page, is Mr. Ken Cude, MA.
