The Devereux Georgia Treatment Network is a psychiatric residential treatment facility (PRTF) that specializes in the treatment of children, teenagers, and young adults with severe emotional and psychological challenges. Our program services include a residential campus, education, and a continuum of support for children and families to live successfully in the community. Additionally, we are able to meet the needs of children through community-based programming. Our community based programs include specialized foster care; a group home for young adult males, and intensive support for families who are caring for children at home.
On any given day we are responsible for the treatment and care of over 200 children, teens and young adults. They struggle with serious mental health or emotional challenges. Symptoms of their illness often manifest in expulsion from school, additional disrupted placements, even charges in the juvenile or criminal justice system, all of which further compound tragic cycles. To them, Devereux is often the last stop, the last chance they have to get help and to learn the skills necessary to thrive and return to society as normal, functioning young adults.
Not all children grow and develop the same, but at Devereux Georgia all children are special with gifts and talents to make a difference in the world. | | |
