Residential Treatment for Teenage boys - Youth Residential Treatment Center - Troubled Teenager Program for Boys

Our Program

Sundance Canyon Academy is a licensed, residential treatment program that utilizes a highly specialized, therapeutic approach in treating young men, ages 13-17 years old, whose lives are jeopardized by emotional and behavioral issues.

Our therapeutic and educational approach is unique and innovative in addressing common issues that face today’s young men:

 

Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse, Executive Functioning, Family Discord, Social Skills, Self-Esteem, and Academic or Developmental Difficulties.

Our holistic model increases students’ recognition and resiliency by identifying and addressing factors that fuel anxiety and poor choices. We provide specific skills, tools and practices for lifestyles that promote opportunity, self-respect and independence.

how we are different

Unlike most treatment programs or schools, we DO NOT use a behavioral modification approach. Our goal is not to focus on the behaviors (rewards or consequence), but what causes those behaviors – their feelings or self-concept.

Heart with hands

Empathy & Attunement

Empathy and attunement

are the most powerful agents of change. If your son feels that we understand him, and can actually feel what he is going through, then he may believe he is worth the effort we put forth in his behalf. This creates an experience that allows the relationship to be the agent of change.

Acceptance & Teaching

We accept and teach our students

by active listening, reflection, empathy, permission to feel, and giving without return. Unconditional care, attunement, and validation go a long way for the internal development of our students.

Vulnerability

Vulnerability can dispel the cultural myth that it is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. When students and families understand this and apply it, it can reduce time in treatment, significantly.

"We are so thankful to Sundance for their work to develop Jordan while he was at the program. We would also like to encourage current and future parents to trust Sundance, have faith and be patient because lasting change does not happen overnight. Previously, [our son] had a very difficult time trying to look ahead and plan things in advance.  However, now he is able to look forward and discuss ideas (long-term planning) because he seems to be developing a longer-term outlook on life."
