Services Provided: At St. Rose our mission is to serve the community by using our unique expertise with girls to provide programming that meets the needs of vulnerable populations--trouble children, adolescents, young women and their families. We achieve our mission by offering a variety of programming that is gender specific including residential treatment, a short-term stabilization placement unit (formerly known as shelter care), therapeutic day education, respite care, and an onsite school. In the last decade, St. Rose has expanded our programs to encompass families; these programs include outpatient therapy, the nurturing program, and the Family Reunification Program.
