Third Way Center

h the scars of abuse for years to come. The truth is, children as well as teens are left with a variety of mental health issues and behavioral problems that impacts their ability to function in classrooms, at jobs, and within society as a whole. The battle against child abuse is daunting, as is the work to help children and teens pick up the pieces of a life disrupted by trauma. Although this reality seems insurmountable, Third Way Center continues its mission to transform and improve the lives of teens impacted by horrific events. Third Way Center’s experienced mental health professionals offer teens a pathway towards healing through our unique Six Boxes© Treatment Methodology. While other organizations focus on changing the behavior of teens, Third Way Center focuses on identifying the trauma they have endured in order to create new behavior patterns and ways of being. Once enrolled in our Residential Child Care Facilities (RCCF), teens are finally given an opportunity to reconcile the past so they can build better futures for themselves and their future families. Third Way Center provides traumatized teens with truth in the form of accurate assessment and diagnosis, as well as hope through individual, family and group therapy, education, vocational training, parenting skills training, and more. Our programs have a 71% success rate in treating teenagers who have been unsuccessful in up to 30 other foster homes, treatment programs, failed adoptions and youth correction settings.
