The Dodge City campus is located on a 140-acre working farm and ranch site designed to promote healthy decision making and relationships.
The Therapeutic Animal Program (TAP) helps children by directly involving them in all phases of animal care so they may experience how to nurture an animal and receive back unconditional attention and love. It allows kids to establish personal goals, develop life skills to form attachments and understand socially-acceptable boundaries. Youth also learn to build faith in themselves and the ability to trust others.
The Sexual Aggressive Treatment Program (SATP) is designed to enable participants to understand the destructive impact of their offenses on their victims, families and themselves. They learn responsible means of meeting personal needs and interacting with others. Residents are held accountable for their offenses and work through the cognitive and emotional processes they experienced before, during and after each offense to work on building healthy relationships and their own self perceptions.
The Sexual Issues Treatment Program (SITP) treats children with sexual boundary issues as well as children that have been sexually abused and have abused others. Most of these children have either seen or been exposed to sexual abuse/issues or have been exposed to inappropriate sexual boundaries.
