Application Overview

Congratulations on taking the difficult steps to find help for your daughter. We understand that it is hard to know if a program will help and we are looking forward to partnering with you in the process.

The application is designed to assess whether we are able to help your daughter.  Our program is not appropriate or helpful for all girls struggling with behavior problems.  Learn more here.

Because Project Patch requires a significant investment of time and money, and most importantly, the care of your teen, we want to proceed carefully to determine whether Project Patch is appropriate and if not, help identify core areas to consider and guide you to other more appropriate resources.

Applying to Patch is a four-step process.

  1. First Step Survey
  2. Application
  3. Fees and Expenses
  4. Intake Interview/Admission

Step 1 – First Step Survey

Taking the First Step helps our admissions staff determine whether we are the appropriate resource for your teen, and if not, helps us connect you with other options.

At the end of the First Step survey, you will choose a time for our Admissions Director to call and explore if Project Patch could be a good fit for your teen.

Step 2 – Application & References

This is an information-gathering stage. We collect extensive background materials to enable our Treatment Team to determine if our program is an appropriate fit for your daughter.

The following types of information will be collected during this time.

  • Youth Program Application
  • Parent/Guardian Applications
  • References
  • Mental Health and Education Records
  • $35 Application Fee
  • Custody Documentation

The Admissions team will email you a link to the online application.

Step 3 – Fees and Expenses

Project Patch, with help from donors and staff, works to provide excellent and affordable services.

As you near completion of the application process, if needed, you will begin the financial aid application process. The Financial Aid Committee will determine the level of the sliding scale based on your need and available donor support.

 Step 4 – Intake Interview/Admissions

Once the Treatment Team has reviewed the application and determined whether our program is an appropriate match for your daughter, the final step is scheduling an Intake Interview with the Admissions Department that will be held at the Youth Program.

  • All necessary forms, packing lists, and instructions will be sent to you
  • Parents bring their teen, the teen’s belongings, and ALL paperwork to the Youth Program
  • Parents and teen will participate in the Intake Interview and the Treatment Team will make a final determination of the appropriateness of the program for her.

If the teen is accepted, she immediately begins the program, and parents complete the final paperwork and leave their teen at the Youth Program.
