Our Program
Elkins Mountain Schools program is intended to serve youth with a long-established history of severely impaired behaviors at home, school, and in the community. In addition to behavior problems, these youths often have other problems such as depression, complex trauma history, and/or substance use. Most have been provided less restrictive services (e.g. counseling, medication) that did not result in necessary changes. Many are adjudicated, delinquent, or status offenders. Some are transferred from higher levels of care to support continued transition in a secure and structured environment.
