Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program

Sierra Vista Child & Family Services offers Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Programs (STRTP) for children aged six to thirteen. Our STRTP home is situated in a family-oriented neighborhood, providing 24-hour specialized care for children facing unique challenges. Staffed by a dedicated team of professionals, including direct care staff, mental health specialists, clinicians, and psychiatric services staff, we ensure children receive tailored therapeutic interventions, counseling, medication support, and crisis intervention based on their individual needs.

STRTP supports the youth behaviorally and culturally while building upon their strengths in a safe environment. Specific goals and objectives are formulated with the child to support the successful completion of the program so the youth can return confidently to a home-based setting. For more information about our program, please contact us at strtpinfo@svcfs.org.

Eligibility: Children ages 0-13 are referred through social services, adoptive assistance programs and other counties.

Cost: Costs are paid by the referring county.
