Residential Services
St. Anne Institute's therapeutic residential program serves adolescent young women and their families. The primary focus of treatment is to reunite the child with her family and community in the briefest time possible. Our residential program serves young women from approximately 40 counties within New York State.

Referrals for St. Anne Institute's residential programs are made directly to the Intake Coordinator and can be made through a variety of sources including school district Committee's on Special Education, Probation Departments, Family Court, the Department of Social Services, or the New York State Office of Children and Families.

Residential Admissions
St. Anne's admissions process is designed to assess the family's strengths and issues and come to an agreement with the family about treatment. If a referral is deemed appropriate, a pre-placement visit is arranged with the referring agency. During the pre-placement visit the prospective student has separate interviews with the Intake Coordinator and the Consulting Psychiatrist. She may also be seen by the Special Education Instructor to determine her current level of academic functioning. Our programs are described in detail during this visit. The young woman and her family will have the opportunity to tour the agency and grounds with a resident who is already enrolled in the program.
A decision is given to the referring agency within 48 hours of the pre-placement visit with a possible admission date.
