You Are Not Alone.
Project PATCH Residential Treatment Program has assisted hundreds of parents of troubled youth, with outstanding results. 

Here is an assessment tool to decide which sort of resource would best help your child.

Parents in a study rated significant improvement for every desirable behavior after their child completed the PATCH program. 

Crisis behaviors frequently treated with great success at Project PATCH:
  • Rebelliousness
  • Oppositional Defiance
  • Authority Issues
  • Anger Control Problems
  • Low Self-Esteem
  • Poor Decision Making Skills
  • Thinking Errors*
  • Poor Peer Choices
  • ADHD
  • Petty Theft or Shoplifting
  • Minor Runaway

 *such as blaming, rationalization to manipulate those around them to avoid taking responsibility for their actions

  • Actively suicidal
  • Severe runaway risks (PATCH Ranch is not a secured facility)
  • Experiencing compounding mental health issues (psychotic, personality disorders, manic-depressive or unstable bi-polar)
  • Sex offenders (PATCH may be able to take a child who has been a victim of sexual crime)
  • Fire starters

If your child has one or more of these problems, please see our Resources page for other options.
