Short-term Therapeutic Residential Program (STRTP):Youth Homes operated a six-bed, state-licensed STRTP for youth aged 12-17 in Contra Costa County. The program provides intensive 24/7 care, enrichment activities, and various mental health services, including psychiatric evaluations and individual and group therapy. The youth in these programs have experienced significant trauma and face behavioral challenges that hinder their ability to live in a family setting.
