| Description: | Trinity Teen Solutions, Inc. (TTS) is an at-risk girls', Christian-based, therapeutic residential treatment center program. TTS utilizes animal therapy, equine-assisted psychotherapy on a breath taking 4,000 acres at the base of the Beartooth Mountain Range. Our Catholic girls school for struggling teens is dedicated to helping young women of all Christian denominations through an education in fundamental Christian principles and virtue formation. Endeavoring to educate the mind, strengthen the body, and elevate the spirit, each young woman that comes to TTS is seen as unique, precious, and unrepeatable. By placing emphasis on Christian moral principles, these young women are challenged to develop a new perspective on life. Healing begins when she can recognize that life is sacred, and they can help to make it so by discovering their God-given talents in His wonderful creation. Through a strong emotional growth program and active participation in experiential education, academics, chores and caring for animals, all while living in cozy country cabins, young women develop a new sense of self-worth, dignity, a positive work ethic, a sense of responsibility, and practical life skills. |

| Academics: | The academic program of Trinity Teen Solutions, Inc. a residential treatment center, is designed to promote self-discovery, constructive interaction with others and a deeper understanding of nature through experiential, adventure, and environmental education, as well as course work for high school credit. Our educational philosophy emphasizes the use of experiential education. We provide participants with outdoor learning experiences that are reflected upon, processed, and analyzed, emotionally, and intellectually. We believe that challenges are inherent to the experiential learning process. Using the natural world as a classroom affords us many opportunities to expand the participant's life experiences and encourages personal growth. Support, trust and respect are valued and promoted throughout all phases of instruction, management, and administration. Our residential treatment centers for troubled teen girls learn academic self-motivation During your daughter’s stay at TTS, she will be required to continue her academic studies. We have combined experiential education with independent study courses. This academic approach encourages girls to get interested in their own education. Because their problematic behavior is getting in the way of their education, girls that come here are typically struggling in school. While continuing her education, your daughter will work on those behaviors that are interfering with her schooling. We use an independent study course that is accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools, Colleges, Universities (NASCU), and the Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA). This accreditation source is reciprocal with other accreditation agencies, meaning that earned credits are generally transferable. However it is always best to make sure that her school will honor the credits. When enrolling your daughter you will need to provide TTS with her high school’s ACT Code, high school name and address. An ACT code is only required for high school students. You can get this number from her high school’s counseling office. By supplying an ACT code, you give permission to inform her High School of her activity and grades in the courses. Our boarding schools for struggling teen girls find hidden talents As part of our unique therapeutic approach your daughter will be earning credits in school for the personal goals and changes that she is making in herself. Some classes include the following: Character Education:-Exploring Values 1 (0.5 high school credits in literature or social science but not both) A literary study of basic values. Examines the consequences of having or lacking courage, self-discipline, compassion, respect, honesty, work, and trust. Providing academics in our therapeutic boarding schools for troubled teen girls Character Education:-Exploring Values 2 (0.5 high school credits in literature or social science but not both) A literary study of basic values. Examines the consequences of having or lacking confidence, generosity, humility, obedience, determination, reliability, tolerance, forgiveness and excellence. Character Education:-Exploring Values 3 (0.5 high school credits in literature or social science but not both) A literary study of basic values including mercy, patience, grace, gratitude, accountability, loyalty, patriotism and self-sufficiency. Academic programs for problem teen girls with behavior problems If your daughter stays longer than 60 days she will continue her schooling, taking into consideration the length of extension in the program and what we can complete in that time. |

Our central philosophy is “the family teaches right action through example, teaching and role models. The family is the safe place where adolescent girls hear and understand values they need in order to thrive. As a staff, we provide such a family setting; where the girls know they are loved. They reciprocate those feelings. We lead, guide, teach by example. 9.

Journaling: Journals are used to express feelings and reactions to events and map progress. 12. Aftercare/Referral: The family helps plan aftercare responsibilities. Roles are clarified; an agreement on rules and responsibilities, supervision, and privileges is reached. Individual Care Plans An individual care plan is developed for each young woman. This plan addresses unique needs of the student and her family. Care plans are reviewed and approved by the Director and the Clinical supervisor. The plan is used to help her identify and solve problems and is reviewed by staff as needed each week. Trinity Teen Solutions, Inc. is always assessing and tailoring treatment to enhance growth for each unique girl and her family. Medications Our philosophy is to manage symptoms and behaviors naturally without medications. We prefer to use the minimal amount of medications possible if necessary to manage symptoms. If your daughter is admitted on medications we will evaluate to decrease medications and hopefully discontinue them prior to discharge. |

| Family Involvement: | After you get your daughter to Trinity Teen Solutions, Inc. a residential treatment center, and peace is restored in your home, then you can begin to focus on assessing the unique dynamics of your family. TTS will assist this process by: 1) Parent Handbook and Packet- After your daughter is admitted you will be sent a family packet with a Parent Handbook and instructions to prepare for your daughter's family intensive therapy day and her discharge. 2) Family Intensive Therapy- Trinity Teen Solutions highly recommends that parents participate in family therapy with their daughters. We offer interim family therapy sessions per treatment team recommendations and on discharge. The valuable time spent with your daughter will provide long term benefits by helping you discover the weaknesses and strengths that are unique to your family unit. The intensive family therapy sessions will reunite the families with their "new" daughter. We have found that families and their daughters are always nervous about how to reunite and start their "New lives". Therefore we provide family therapy that will provide families with valuable tools and unity for their arrival home. Families will acquire parenting tips, tools to help them control their homes and daughters, rebuild trust, gain forgiveness and learn to appreciate each other again. 3) Weekly phone conferencing- Staff will provide updates on your daughter's progress and valuable parenting tips. 4) Weekly emailed summary reports. 5) Emailed Photos. |

| Philosophy: | By removing young women from their usual surroundings, we challenge old problematic behaviors and promote personal growth. By changing their settings, daily routines, manner of dress and relationship with God, they are able to redefine and rediscover their unique identity with emphasis upon God-given dignity, personal responsibility, and right action. |
