Our children are referred to us by frustrated parents, concerned family members, school counselors, religious leaders of all Christian faiths, medical/mental health professionals, and social service officials.  Each child in residence is provided an Individual Treatment Plan created to address specific behaviors which led the child’s legal guardian to seek placement at YFT. The typical resident actively participates in the program for six to twelve months depending upon their progress towards meeting individualized program goals. Applicants to YFT usually demonstrate one, or quite typically, a combination of the following issues or characteristics: depression, defiance, anger, isolation, truancy, ADHD, ODD, OCD and other mental health conditions.
