Residential Academy

For teenage boys and girls who have experienced trouble with the law, Eckerd Connects’ short-term juvenile justice gender specific residential academy offers rehabilitative services. Our services help youth change their behavior by building upon their strengths. This intensive program is available ages 13-17 and lasts between four to six months.

Intensive, short-term services include:

• individualized treatment
• academic plans that combine formal and experiential education
• vocational education
• community service
• behavioral health and family counseling in a non-punitive environment

Youth also receive on-site accredited education and work together in small group settings with assigned counselors.

As part of a public-private partnership with the North Carolina Division of Juvenile Justice, the program also emphasizes family transition planning and support.
