Strong Adolescent Female Empowerment Program

The Strong Adolescent Female Empowerment (SAFE) Program operates on an 11 bed living unit within the Academy. Single bedroom capacity, individual bathrooms, greater staff-to-resident ratio, and alarmed doors are provided to eliminate intrusive behaviors. The therapeutic approaches combine an individualized 12-step model, cognitive intervention, and strength-based assessment and planning. A Protective Plan is developed individually to reduce the risk that these clients can have upon others.

Who will benefit from the SAFE Program ?
The SAFE Program is designed to provide treatment for females who in general can be disruptive to programming. This disruption can take place in the form of:
• Aggressive and controlling behaviors
• Emotionally intrusive behaviors
• Sexually aggressive behaviors
