Girls’ Program

Helping girls struggling with depression, anxiety, and self-harming behaviors.

You are not alone. The Project Patch Therapeutic Residential Treatment Program for Girls has assisted hundreds of struggling girls with outstanding results. We know because parents and girls tell us, tell their friends and donate to help other girls.

Our Therapeutic Residential Treatment Program for Girls will partner with you to get your daughter back on course:

Girls spend an average of six months to one year with us, gaining the skills and healing necessary for completing the program. Girls gain skills to respond rather than react to their emotions, gain an understanding of their past, and tools to build healthier and stronger relationships.  Our Girls’ Program incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), individual and group therapy, as well as mentoring from a caring and well-trained staff (Learn more about our therapy)

Family visits take place at various times, and parents are encouraged to attend parent weekends, each one an opportunity to learn new skills as a family.

Our Girls’ program is a licensed and accredited Therapeutic Residential Treatment Program that houses up to 20 girls at a time, ages 12 to 17 (must be placed before they are 17 1/2).  The program staff is comprised of 40 dedicated staff members, including a core of professional counselors.  Over 1,000 teens have completed the Project Patch program and are living testaments to the program’s effectiveness.

Nestled in a secluded valley, surrounded by mountains, and bordered by a scenic river in southern Idaho, this 169-acre facility is the perfect environment for healing.  The core building, housing the kitchen and dining room, is flanked by the residence halls.  Bedrooms accommodate up to four girls, and each room has its own bathroom.  Completing the campus are a school, gymnasium, woodshop, and chapel.

Project Patch accepts girls regardless of creed, religion, or race.  Patch is a faith-based ministry that focuses on teaching teenagers their worth and value in the eyes of their Creator.  While we are unable to accommodate individual religious practices other than those provided, all are respected.
