At Solstice we have a selective admissions process. This is done in an effort to ensure that the girls we accept into our program
are appropriate for the level of care we provide, that our program and your daughter are a good fit for one another, and that we can
provide the services that your daughter requires in order to progress successfully.
We specialize in working with girls age 14
-17 yrs old who struggle with a variety of problems such as; depression, anxiety, body image issues, substance abuse, mild eating
disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation, non-compliance, family conflict, grief and loss, adoption issues, low self-esteem,
academic struggles, ADHD, abuse and trauma issues, academic struggles, processing difficulties such as NLD and Aspergers disorder,
and other social issues.
Although we specialize in working with girls that struggle with these issues, not every girl that has
these issues is a good fit for Solstice. Our Admissions director will help you through the process of determining whether we would
be a good fit for your daughter.
It may be helpful to know that girls that we will not be able to serve effectively include those
who:
* Have a history of physical aggression; or a diagnosis of Conduct disorder
* Are acutely suicidal, or present a high risk of serious danger to themselves, or others;
* Are experiencing
psychosis, or impaired reality testing,
* Have an overall IQ score lower than 90,
* Are medically unstable.
Parents will be asked to complete an application including clinical information, and treatment histories on their daughter. This information will be used by the Admission's team, including Clinical, Admissions, Program, and Academic directors, to determine if your daughter is appropriate for our program.
If you have questions about the program, or would like
more information in the process of determining if your daughter is appropriate for Solstice RTC, please call our Admissions Director,
Kristi Ragsdale, MPA at (801) 699-6563.
